2019 in Hong Kong. Protests become our daily life. The stuff in the streets after each protest are changing our urban landscape, and they become the view of our everyday life. Graffiti on walls, unscrewed railings, bricks, respirators, safety goggles… Everything records what has happened in the city and witnesses our beliefs. I walked through the streets with my camera after protests. I let the objects play the narrators and tell us about the protests.
