Alessandro Carboni

For more than month, Alessandro Carboni has been in Hong Kong focusing his research around Platform#8 on Nga Tsin Wai village: one of the last ancient villages remained in Kowloon and Hong Kong at large. Taking this as a point of departure, Carboni examines local disappearing urban spaces, which overlap with several discrete boundaries within Kai Tak River, Kowloon Walled City and To Kwa Wan. The project reflects the renewed recognition that space matters to cutting edge practices, especially the analysis on urban and body transformation, making use of knowledge in choreography, urban geography and visual art.
