Hong Kong Artist Invites the Public to Fill in the Blanks in "6:4" Ratio

Part 4:

Although Hong Kong Police banned the annual candlelight vigil on this 32nd anniversary of Tiananmen Massacre, the cordons cannot put out the flames of remembrance. Many artists and performers held memorials in their own ways, keeping the memories of the truth alive.

Hong Kong Artist Chan Ka-Hing designed an all-white t-shirt with no graphic, but only a flat, black rectangle -- with sides in the ratio of 6:4.

"Determining what message and memories the shirt conveys is left as an exercise to the observer," Chan reflected on the motif of his work.

Chan had been making art work of similar minimalistic style for the past two years on June 4. He aims to make it easier for the public to participate.

"Everybody can try it out, and do it on their own. Eventually, that idea or concept will become a connection for all of us," Chan said.
