This is a short film based on the events of Edward Joseph Snowden, a former CIA and NSA employee who leaked a top secret mass surveillance programme from the US and UK.
We have never met or been in contact with Edward Joseph Snowden.
We are a band of independent and amateur filmmakers in Hong Kong who were both excited and puzzled as to why Snowden chose to come to Hong Kong. While nearly every media outlet wanted to get their hands on him, we decided to produce a short fictional video to depict his experience in HK, and how it would have affected certain parties: Namely, the CIA contingent based in HK who would be tasked to find Snowden. The Hong Kong Police who would be stuck in between the US and China. And the journalists who want to get the scoop.
The idea was hatched two days after he revealed his identity, and principal filming began on June 20th.
We were also filming on the same day (23rd) when we learned Snowden had left the city. Therefore we ramped up production efforts and published our short film 'Verax' on the 25th. 'Verax' was the alias Snowden used when contacting journalists via encrypted chat services, and means truth-teller in Latin.
I myself loved the idea of having Snowden here and the media frenzy it created. I really wanted to make a film based on such real-life news events, especially as it continues to develop. I also wanted to put something out there that is contrary and alternative to what we see in the mainstream media. With the technology we have today, filmmakers can really produce work at ridiculous speed. This project really tested our mettle especially when most of us had day jobs.
I myself highly respect Snowden for doing what he did, and the immense dangers and hardship he put himself through. I wouldn't call him a hero or a traitor (especially since I'm not American) just yet as his story is still continuing. Last update I heard here was that he did not board his supposed flight to Cuba and therefore is likely still in Russia. I was dismayed by his departure - not only because we were making this film - but because he seemed to have faith in our rule of law and I also wanted to see how our HK government would continue to fare due to all this pressure from the US.
To reiterate, we made this for fun and for the love of filmmaking. We had no commercial or political motives.

Incidents(1996/7) were exhibited for the first time by Harald Szeemann at the Lyon Biennial 1997.
alchetron.com/Harald-Szeemann-770370-W
1997 Lyon Biennial L'autre (the Other)
Originating in 1991, the city of Lyon's Musee d'art Contemporain co-directors, Thierry Raspail and Thierry Prat, has hosted a biennial art exhibition, which generally has garnered little attention to international audiences. Each biennial has a specific theme and guest curator who determines the components of the exhibition. The choice for the Fourth Biennial, in 1997, was Harald Szeemann. The co-directors chosen theme for the exhibition was derived from the post-structuralist term L'autre, the other. L'autre was held at L'Halle Tony Garnier in the outskirts of Lyon. The structure from the 1920s is an example of extraordinary engineering of the era. The large scale of the space made it suitable for showing large-scale works such as by Richard Serra or Serge Spitzer, which would otherwise be excluded from such exhibitions in conventional spaces.
Szeemann's choices were eclectic but consistently focused on the subject of contemporary artists' personal mythologies. Large-scale sculptures by artists as: Bruce Nauman, Louise Bourgeois, Joseph Beuys, Richard Serra, Chris Burden, Jessica Stockholder, Hanne Darboven, and Ute Schroder were viewed in relation to video installations by: Gary Hill, Mariko Mori, Zhang Peill, Paul McCarthy, and Igor and Svetlana Kopystiansky. There were "physical/ ephemeral" pieces by younger artists, such as Jason Rhoades and Richard Jackson, and the famous large-scale black rats by Katharina Fritsch, which were shown earlier at the Dia Center for the Arts in New York.
Szeemann included a historical section with bronze cast self-portraits of the eighteenth-century artist Frances Xavier Messerschmidt, an ancestral figure to contemporary performance art. Szeemann mounted the bronze heads in a circular arrangement, thereby asserting their relationship to closely placed works by the Austrian Actionists of the 1960s. Surrounding the Messerschmidts were photographs, drawings, and relics by artists as Rudolph Schwarzkogler, Hermann Nitsch, Otto Muhl, Gunther Brus, and Arnulf Rainer. Another portion of the "historical" section was an entry in the exhibition catalog by the French art historian and curator Jean Clair.
An apparent theme intended by Szeemann in L'Autre was to position artists at the end of modernism within the context of a "self-historifying mythos". The diversity of works chosen for the Fourth Biennial reflected the constant edge of what was modernism, also what is perceived at its boundaries.

Dai Hanzhi: 5000 Artists
Witte de With, Rotterdam 2014
Wang Xingwei leeft en werkt in Beijing. Hij genoot een opleiding figuratieve schilderkunst aan de Shenyang Normal University. Sinds de vroege jaren 1990 ontwikkelt Wang Xingwei een beeldtaal die Chinese hedendaagse kunst linkt aan westerse referenties, sociaal-realistische precedenten en de onmiddellijke culturele context in een universum van wederkerende personages die weergegeven worden in subtiele stijl- en compositievariaties. Wang reflecteert op de beeldtaal die hij erfde maar is inventief in hoe hij deze aanwend. Gekend voor zijn bevreemdende gevoeligheid en scherp gevoel voor humor eigent Wang zich vrijelijk stijlen toe uit verschillende tradities en gebruikt deze in creatieve en dramatische scenario’s.
Wang Xingwei is an artist who lives and works in Beijing. He was trained in figurative painting at Shenyang Normal University. Since the early 1990s Wang Xingwei has pioneered a painterly vision that links Chinese contemporary art to its Western referents, socialist realist precedents, and immediate cultural context through a universe of recurring characters rendered in seemingly infinite subtle variations of style and composition. Wang is reflexive about the visual language he has inherited, but relentlessly inventive in its deployment. An artist known for its quirky sensibility and sharp wit, Wang freely appropriates style and content from different traditions, employing them in highly creative and dramatic scenarios.

This was painted in 2001, the year Beijing was awarded the 2008 Summer Olympics. The title came from the slogan of "New Beijing, Great Olympics" which was used for the bid. In this work, the injured students have been replaced by injured penguins, reflecting the scrubbing of history by the Chinese government.

Title | 革命史 (1997) History of Revolution
油彩布本 oil on canvas

Exhibitor | M+, Hong Kong
Exhibition | M+ Sigg Collection

此畫由三屏組成，左右畫作分別複製了藝術史的經典圖像：劉春華的《毛主席去安源》(1967) 和Jacques-Louis David的《馬拉之死》(1793)，前者為文革期間印刷發行量最大的油畫，後者是法國大革命時期的名作；而中間寫有黃色文字的紅色畫布，則註明兩幅油畫的出處及王興偉對圖像所作的改動。借助電腦圖像處理技術，他按比例調整了兩者的尺寸，再將其細節一一再現。藝術家試圖透過修改中法兩國革命史上的經典瞬間，來提醒大家我們對歷史圖像的崇拜。
Consisting of three panels, this work features reproductions of two iconic artworks that depict revolutionary leaders. On the left is Liu Chunhua's Chairman Mao en route to Anyuan (1967), the most reproduced image during the Cultural Revolution. On the right is The Death of Marat, painted by Jacques-Louis David in 1793 during the French Revolution. The red canvas with yellow text in the centre explains the paintings' sources and changes the artist has made to the originals. Using image processing software, Wang adjusted the scales of the artworks to fit the dimensions of the canvases on which he reproduced them. By altering classic representations of the Chinese and French revolutions, the painting reminds us of how we idolise historical images.

這幅油畫由三幅畫布併合而成。左方是劉春華的《毛主席去安源》（1957年）橫向拉伸的圖像，描繪年青的毛澤東身穿長衫，從崇山峻嶺間走來。右方則是雅克–路易．大衛（Jacques-Louis David）的《馬拉之死》（1793年）的壓縮單色複製畫像，描繪記者及法國革命家尚保羅．馬拉（Jean-Paul Marat）遇刺死於浴缸的情景。而中間紅色畫布的黃色文字則註明兩幅油畫的出處及變形方式。此乃王興偉藝術生涯早期之作。他善於挪用中國和西方藝術史的經典圖像，創作出同一題材構圖迥異的嶄新版本。藝術家在這件作品中將中國文化大革命（1966至1976年）期間一幅廣泛流傳的圖像與法國大革命（1789至1799年）時代的一幅著名畫作結合起來，並通過尺寸和顏色的扭曲凸顯中國社會變革歷程之不同。此畫令人聯想起王興偉的另一幅油畫作品《東方之路：去安源》（1995年），雖然同樣是指涉劉春華1957年的畫作，但在該畫中毛澤東卻被藝術家本人的背影取代。
This oil painting consists of three connected canvases. At left is an expanded portrayal of Liu Chunhua’s Chairman Mao Goes to Anyuan (1957), depicting a young Mao Zedong in a Chinese gown against a mountainous landscape. A compressed and monochromatic reproduction of Jacques-Louis David’s The Death of Marat (1793), which portrays the murdered journalist and French revolutionary Jean-Paul Marat in his bath, is presented at right. The middle red canvas with yellow text explains the paintings’ sources and their transformations. Wang Xingwei painted this work early in his career. He is known for appropriating motifs from Chinese and Western art history and creating versions of the same subject with different compositions. Here, Wang combines an image that was widely distributed during the Cultural Revolution in China (1966–1976) and a well-known painting from the French Revolution (1789–1799). The size and colour distortions suggest the emphasis on different histories of revolution in Chinese society. The work recalls another of Wang’s oil paintings, The Oriental Way: The Road to Anyuan (1995), which also references Liu’s 1957 work but features a rear view of the artist in place of Mao.

2003年，王興偉開始在表面彎曲不平的建築材料上作畫 。這幅《大海》是臨摹自法國現實主義畫家古斯塔夫，庫爾貝的經典作品《秋天的海》(1867），王興偉利用瓦楞板波紋起伏的特點，呼應海浪洶湧、雲團翻滾的圖像，讓平面畫作也能呈現出立體的質感。精煉的繪畫語言與廉價的材料相結合，這可謂是他對經典圖像的戲謔。
In 2003, Wang Xingwei began to paint on building materials with curved and uneven surfaces. Sea is a copy of Autumn Sea (1867) by French realist painter Gustave Courbet. Wang Xingwei exploits the undulating surface of a corrugated board to echo the waves and clouds in the image, giving the flat painting a three- dimensional quality. The combination of refined techniques and inexpensive material creates a parody of a classic image.

畫中一個身穿黃色襯衫、帶有藝術家自畫像性質的男子半跪着，在二十世紀藝術先鋒馬塞爾•杜尚的最後一件作品《已經給出》(1946-1966）前探頭窺視，而地面散落的木屑與工具暗示男子對杜尚作品的破壞。一身督察裝扮的藝術家安迪•華荷與約瑟夫波依斯則在男子身邊冷眼旁觀，似是在守護杜尚的概念藝術成果。正如畫面與標題所示王興偉如同懷疑耶穌復活的多馬那樣，以堅持繪畫創作，質疑中國藝術界主流的概念化觀念。
A man in a yellow shirt resembling Wang gets down on one knee to peep into Étant donné (1946-1966), the final work of the pioneering conceptual artist Marcel Duchamp. The sawdust and the tools scattered on the ground suggest that Wang has vandalised Duchamp's work. Next to the man stand the artists Andy Warhol and Joseph Beuys dressed as police to guard Duchamp's legacy. Just as St. Thomas-the religious figure mentioned in the work's title- doubted Jesus' resurrection, Wang remains devoted to expressing scepticism about the conceptual ideas that dominated China's art scene.
