Interview with Chan Hofung Cedric by Leung Chiwo Warren

In the earlier part of the interview, artist Chan Hofung Cedric talks about the reasons why he studied design and photography at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, his creative and learning experience in the fields of visual arts, music, and theatre, and how he was influenced by Blues Wong, Joseph Fung, Kith Tsang, and Edward Lam (00:00–21:00). Chan continues to explain the importance of interacting with peers, the relationship between different media of creative expression, and a few topics of interest, such as gender thinking and interpersonal relationships (21:00–33:43). He also shares some observations and analyses on his experience from participating in exhibitions in Singapore. Since he was not formally trained in fine art, Chan further explains, his use of materials is more unconventional and inspired by his lived experience, culture, and emotions (41:12–1:00:00). In the last part of the interview, Chan talks about life’s trifles, cultural practices, Hong Kong artists’ common shortcomings, and some unfavourable factors undermining the development of art in Hong Kong (1:15:27–1:28:51).
