How was your dream?
How Was Your Dream? is a photography project created during the protests that took place in Hong Kong between June and October 2019. The work addresses new forms of protest and insurrection in our post-contemporary times dominated by uninterrupted control societies.
Five years earlier, in Hong Kong, the Umbrella Movement had been rapidly repressed by State and police violence. In 2019, the democratic uprising that began in May gathered momentum. Faced by a sophisticated arsenal of control, the Hong Kong protesters developed several techniques based on principles of invisibility and untraceability that allowed them to mitigate the effects of the repression. These new mechanisms, which help transform methods of struggle and resistance, lead, nevertheless, to a loss of individuality.
