“Butterflies on the Wheel hails from a cruel imagery – the butterflies flew into a blender and broke their wings. The artwork aims to experiment with videography regarding different forms of presentation through interaction with space. Wong recorded the cityscape of Hong Kong, and shattered the moving images into broken-down frames.
She then projected the images onto her own living room wall. The polygonal and limited space generated multiple reflections, resulting in the fragmentalization of images. It seems to critique the fractured conditions of life caused by the deteriorating spatial capitalization in the city, or perhaps contemplates the relationship between women and the imagery of claustrophobia that Wong has also explored.”
