Painting 2047 White Roses Red / 2017
In Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Alice encounters three gardeners busily painting over white roses with red paint to conceal their mistakes from the cruel judgement of the Red Queen. Chow Chun Fai installs an artwork consisting of 2046 HKSAR flags, as a metaphor for the discolouration and distortion of reality in the authoritarian rule of the Red Queen.
