––––Hong Kong
7:27 p.m. CEST We receive a message on the chat. Since April, after shooting the picture, Rebecca and Kee Hong had found a location for the poster. It's no longer possible to freely put up posters on the walls of urban spaces in Hong Kong; it would be too dangerous in terms of political signalling. The idea was to collaborate with PRÉCÉDÉE, a private art space with a window on the street, functioning as a public space open 24/7, another way of bypassing censorship and keeping the works as accessible as possible.
But, given the contents of the work, PRÉCÉDÉE no longer feels like collaborating, since they risk being accused of violating public obscenity laws. Kee Hong explains that art spaces are becoming increasingly fearful, and the political atmosphere is really tense. He proposes to put up the poster indoors or in sex-related spaces. We have to postpone. We have to research.
