Infinite Legends of Tuen Mun
Cold Ears Factory (Eastman Cheng and Joey Leung)
Bronze
Tuen Mun Riverside Park
As its name suggests, Infinite Legends of Tuen Mun is an "infinite" collection of snippet narratives of Tuen Mun. In keeping with the artistic mission of "going from zero to infinity", the two members of Cold Ears Factory distributed the zine in Tuen Mun and set up street booths to collect the residents' memories, feelings and fantasies concerning the community. Drawing inspiration from the residents, the team produced a set of six bronze sculptures based on the history of the district, everyday life, and even strange or interesting stories, combined with their own wild imagination. This series of works aims at spurring the visitors' imagination of Tuen Mun, turning the snippet narratives of Tuen Mun into legends that will be passed down in the community.
