Six years after the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, FUNG uses a ping-pong to symbolise the fact that Hong Kong is merely being pushed from one side to another, leaving one coloniser only to find herself in the arms of another. Decidedly blank and expressionless, men in the video are nothing but transporters of the ping-pong.

Eight-screen installation. An original 15-minute video clip of a street scene at a crossroad was captured and was played on a 25-inch TV screen.

The images and sound became more abstract each time. The video installation was first staged in Hangzhou in 1996.
