People looking bewildered inside a lift, close-ups of individuals sound asleep and workers taking a break on the pavement at Hollywood Road are some of the scenes captured in Silas Fong's videos and installation works.
The award-winning artist, who seeks to challenge existing values and inspire audiences, is a recent graduate of the visual arts programme at Baptist University. He has enrolled in a postgraduate course in fine arts at the Chinese University.
Why did you become an artist?
I have always been passionate about the arts. On my first day at Baptist University, the professor asked my class of 20 if anyone wanted to become an artist after graduating. I was the only one to put up my hand.
What has been the biggest influence on your career?
It would be my part-time work at the Asia Art Archive where I researched and studied contemporary art. I'm exposed to the thinking of artists, critics and event organisers from around the world, which has broadened my horizons. I realise that art creation is an intensive and continuous process of contemplation.
