'Urban Folly – Electric this' shows two women in their Plexiglas bubble, lying in front of a cityscape in LED and neon light.
The background of the work is the acrylic neon sign Urban Folly neon with lights in various colours in an abstract array, representing buildings. In front of the buildings are two women lying down, mother and daughter, cut out from transparent Plexiglas. Over their heads is text (engraved in the Plexiglas), each speaks half a poem, discussing how to be modern with yet allusions to ancient Chinese habits and symbols. Behind the board are speakers left and right (actually, they are the beloved Hong Kong cell phones) that say the English text in Cantonese. The title of the poem (Electric this) is carved in a Plexiglas cloud and hangs over the buildings like a neon sign. The entire work is put in a black protruding frame as if they are inside a casing or exhibited in some kid’s shoebox diorama.
The Urban Folly neon sign creates the virtual environment that influences the way this mom and her daughter live their lives, lying in front of the city as if on the HK beach. And the mom passes on her urban myth while the daughter comments on her mom as a ‘sheep’ that follows fashion and fads to feel unique, not aware of the transparent bubble she, the daughter, lives in herself. But inside is the ancient Chinese core, unbroken.
Through the conceptual visualisation formed by the root-like winding of the neon light, the work hopes to trigger an underlying light and reflection that resonates with citizens in a certain and also manifold way on this modern and traditional soulful land. The continuity of life in progress and the shifts in the flickering and shimmering of neon lights show us something clearer. It is the way and the opening in the frame that one might have overlooked, the energy of life in all the old and fancy of the new from the past to the present...

More T-shaped sign spotted in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 Tell us where else can you see them? Comment below 👇🏻
Why are they so special?
These T-shaped signs are at least half a century old, which are disappearing quickly as a lot of old buildings were demolished. Some are even being stolen. There were 50 road signs disappeared solely in 2011.
Apart from T-shaped street signs, which were made of iron as shown in the photo here, there are also older ones, which were made of cement and porcelain tiles. See how many you can find during your next visit to Hong Kong 😊

The curving façades of tenement blocks built in the colonial era have not only made one of the most unique features of Hong Kong’s urban landscape, these corner buildings were meant to serve the interests of the people as well as that of the developers.
The British colonial government encouraged the construction of balconies and verandas in 1935 by exempting their floor area from the land premium that developers were obliged to pay. These structures were hoped to provide shades to the pedestrian footpaths underneath, hence considered public facilities.

The architectural slants of buildings from the colonial era have cut impressive figures into some of the skylines of Hong Kong’s oldest districts. This unique urban feature from the ’60s serves as a vivid reminder of the historical building ordinance, which once regulated the city’s street shadow areas in the hope to guarantee citizens’ rights to light.
Buildings with pyramid-like top floors are mainly found in old neighborhoods such as Jordan and Wan Chai. Lee Ho-yin, co-founder and director of the Architectural Conservation Programmes at the University of Hong Kong, considers the eight buildings on Ferry Street in Yau Ma Tei a classic example.

Ever impressed by the smooth touch of the handrails of stairs in old buildings? Many signboards and staircases in tenement buildings built before the ’60s were made of terrazzo – an inexpensive, durable and cleaning-friendly composite material. However, the traditional craftsmanship that incorporates terrazzo into architecture is gradually fading from the face of the city.
Known for its durability, cleanability, adaptability and seamlessness, terrazzo was widely used to decorate high-touch surfaces like staircases, lobbies and wet market tabletops back in the ’50s and ’60s. Architectural conservationist Wendy Ng notes that terrazzo can be identified by the black and white chips embedded in the material. Unlike the Western faux-marble craft known as “Italian plaster,” Hong Kong’s terrazzo is made up of cement and quartz chips.
