Attack of the Red Giant 進擊的共人
‘Attack of the Red Giant’ a derivative work based on the Japanese comic ‘Attack on Titan’. A giant sculpture made of cardboard is built on a trolley. It stands out amongst the crowd due to its red color and height. The work was juxtaposing against the protesting crowd and the architecture on both sides of the road, creating an interesting contrast. The Red Giant symbolizes the bad guy who is fast approaching our city. It might even conceal itself amongst Hong Kong people, waiting for a chance to devour them.
「進擊的共人」是模仿日本漫畫「進擊的巨人」的二次創作。紙皮巨人安裝在手推車上,2013年現身街頭,在人群中一支獨秀,吸引媒體拍攝和報導遊行。「共人」象徵中共正在對香港步步進逼,它甚至潛伏在你我當中,等待著吃人的機會。2020年「港版國安法」在香港通過,香港終於被「吃掉」,「共人」的下一個目標會是台灣嗎?
