“Victoria East” is approximately today’s Tseung Kwan O. On the map of “Hong Kong Extension” dated 1898, the location of Tseung Kwan O is marked as “East Opening/ East Exit”, probably denoting the eastern outlet of Victoria Harbour.

“Victoria East” is a vanished sea. When the British colonial government decided to develop Tseung Kwan O in 1980s as the third generation of “new town”, the land was entirely reclaimed from hills and the sea.

During FUSE artist residency, Law Yuk Mui set a time frame of a century, i.e. 1906-2017, to investigate urban development from four perspectives – mountain, sea, coastline and wind. Through archival research and field study, the artist are exposed to the unadorned imageries of culture and landscape at present. From there the artist record, carve and recreate the spatial traces in relation to history, politics, colonisation and urban planning.
