From "the Leaning Liberty" to "the Almost Truth"
District Councilor Kisslan Chan Puts Up #StreetArt Yet Again
The "Leaning characters" slogans have once again appeared on streets in Yuen Long, Hong Kong.
The street art is set up and created by district councilor Kisslan Chan Ling-lun, who used "the Almost Truth" as a theme for his new work. The art is also created from several wooden planks, with the planks arranged to show the Chinese characters for "truth" (真相) when looked at with head tilted.
Chan revealed to Stand News that this served as a continuation of his previous work "The Leaning Liberty", which like "The Almost Truth", is arranged to show the Chinese characters for "liberty" (自由) when looked at from the sides. He stated that he had at first thought that the 木 radical in 相 didn't look artistic, and had removed a dot in a flash of inspiration, stating that "there's still some distance until we reach the truth". He hoped that one day he could "add that dot in" when the truth is reached.
Chan also expressed that the recent political incidents and court cases had showed that "it's hard to reach 100% truth", and that his work expresses the values many believe in in this environment, believing that "citizens would resonate with the words".
Chan studied art in University, and hoped that art would make the public notice what is happening around them more, and revealed the release of several similar works in the near future.
