In between breaths, the world became still. Time once again was measured in sunrises and sunsets, shadows that grew to their terminal length in the confines of our homes. In its third year, this edition of Sound Forms has mutated and grown with the seismic shifts that have affected forms of mutual aid, care, and turmoil. Hong Kong, an international airport hub and transfer node, now finds itself physically isolated. Yet the project of world-building endures.
Curated by Remy Siu (Canada), Sound Forms 2020 returns to Hong Kong Arts Centre from 15/10 - 18/10 this year to transmit newly commissioned audiovisual works from international artists, paired with emerging local talent. The sound artists we have invited reflect those who have superseded the usual confines of their medium. What they have to offer is a sensorium of experience created in collaboration with video artists, composers, and choreographers.
