Trapped x Escape - An Eternal Theme: Narrative Stills by Tracy Choi & Simmy Cheong

22/04/2021

Taipa Village Cultural Association exclusively presents the second exhibition of the year - “Trapped x Escape - An Eternal Theme: Narrative Stills by Tracy Choi & Simmy Cheong”. Created by award-winning movie director Tracy Choi and cinematographer Simmy Cheong, the exhibition showcases a short film which is compiled by a unique set of narrative still images, uncovering the essence of a story in a different form.

The exhibition unveils the tacit understanding between Tracy and Simmy, who have been working together for more than ten years and sometimes this makes their ideas too consistent. Through this short film production, they hope to return to the original point to tell a simple story with still images, so as to experiment together, return to the origin and regain their original intentions.


Exhibition Concept

We have worked together for more than ten years, and sometimes we don’t need to say anything because of the tacit understanding. But sometimes because there is too much tacit understanding, the ideas are too consistent, and there are some invisible frames that restrict us. This exhibition hopes to return to the original point and tell a simple story with still pictures. Although form should not be greater than essence, form is sometimes an essence. How will the same story change in different forms? How is the flow of images, can different types tell a complete story?

Experiment together, return to the origin, and regain our original intentions.
