This project examines the Hong Kong film Happy Together, directed by Wong Kar-wai, as a research subject, using the film as a historical archive. By translating the dynamic visuals of the film into textual language, the project explores the interplay between traditional Chinese culture and British colonial influence within Hong Kong's cultural framework. It aims to capture the sense of loss and confusion surrounding self-identity experienced by people during the historical period from the 1970s to the 1990s, represented through the overlap of two cultural languages.

Additionally, the project experiments with a process of degradation through iterative copying.
