About 'The Flow of Flights'
Aeroplane Chess, an iconic Hong Kong board game, is a cherished part of our childhood memories and often shapes our earliest impressions of "flight." This installation reinterprets the game through deconstruction and reinvention, preserving its well-known colours and shapes while crafting new pathways and spatial experiences. It invites visitors to reimagine the chess game and infuse it with fresh possibilities.
Unlike the game’s orderly, linear movement, travel is more like an elaborate web of intersecting routes. The airport serves as a dynamic nexus which blends starting points, mid-journey stops, and final destinations, gathering all sorts of travellers who are ready to depart or return. Everyone’s journey is unique, some pursue direct paths with clear intent, while others embrace detours, exploring the unknown through layovers. Yet, in this shared space, their paths overlap, creating a vibrant, living mosaic of human experience. Through the lens of Aeroplane Chess, this installation celebrates the diversity and interconnectedness of travel, inviting visitors to discover their own journey’s meaning and embrace the surprises of the unknown.
