Performance interdisciplinare della durata di 50 minuti per tre artisti, Kowloon è liberamente ispirata alla cultura visiva di Hong Kong, con chiari richiami a Gordon Matta-Clark, estratti dei films di Tsai Ming-Liang e molte altre influenze. È una proiezione continua di movimento e suono, senza la presenza di testi o voci. Il titolo è una chiara allusione alla città murata di Kowloon di Hong Kong, distrutta nel 1996.

A 50 min abstract interdisciplinary piece for four performers loosely based on Hong Kong visual culture, Gordon Matta-Clark pieces or Tsai Ming-Liang films among many other influences. A visual, movement and sound continuum of 22 scenes of performing, installations, analog projections and live and recorded sound art. No text nor voice is employed.
The title is an allusion to Hong Kong’s Walled city of Kowloon, which was torn down in 1996 and is now the Kowloon Walled City park. LRM Locus are not interested in conceptual nor narrative art anymore, so the piece is not relating nor depicting the Walled City story.
Our work seeks for unmediated emotions, therefore expressly avoiding narration by including as many influences as possible, carefully assembled to generate emotions avoiding any thread or concept. So any Walled city of Kowloon’s imagery is entangled with a manifold of traditional and contemporary musical, visual, dance and movement sources, architecture and constructions or sciences.
