A Flags-Raising-Lowering Ceremony at my home’s clothes drying rack (with hand-painted Regional Flag of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China by Lee Kit). This piece is a respond to the 10th anniversary of the establishment of The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of The People’s Republic of China. The HKSAR regional flag was hand-painted by artist Lee Kit following the regulation of GB 16689-1996, the State’s Standards of The People’s Republic of China, issued by the State Authority of Technical Monitoring. The artist then asked his parents to perform a flags-raising-lowering ceremony at their home’s clothes drying rack, with the hand-painted flag, and the national flag of The People’s Republic of China and The United Kingdom.

此作品回應了香港特別行政區成立的十週年紀念。藝術家李傑根據中國國家技術管理局頒佈的標準手繪出香港特區區旗，連同中國與英國國旗，在關尚智父母的參與下於家中的晾衣架舉行了升旗及降旗儀式。
