| Statement |
Having
to work in China Town for 4 years, I became |
| |
very
interested in my Heritage. |
| |
I
started to cook and felt belong to this Heritage. |
| |
Fried
Rice, Lion Dance, Soy Bean Milk, Dragon...all |
| |
kinds
of typical symbols that associates with Chinese |
| |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
|
Culture
in the "General Western Eyes". |
| |
I
was wondering, "How does a Roast Duck see China |
| |
Town?"
So, I went out with the Duck cam to find out |
| |
with
this 45 minutes exposure. |
| |
Many
people recognized me on the street during the |
| |
exposure,
"Aren't you the guy from that Chinese |
| |
Restaurant?"
I felt as if I was the duck - the icon of |
| |
 |
 |
|
|
|
|
China
town. |
| |
Duck
Cam (Melbourne) is a metaphor of Culture |
| |
Transition
- an Australian Duck being cooked in a |
| |
Chinese
way. The Duck became the eye of a Chinese |
| |
guy,
looking through Melbourne's China Town - wired, |
| |
funny
and blur. |
