The Hong Kong Agent

May 7th, 2008 by Dan Hill

Rather enjoyable, this late-night audio dérive across Hong Kong. Reminds me a little of the collaboration between Jeff Noon and David Toop a while back, in its combination of found sounds and narrative, yet also includes oblique fragments of interview. So it hovers somewhere between a documentary and an impressionistic collage. Also, apparently part of some wider narrative piece, involving videos to be remixed. Intriguing.

    The Hong Kong Agent is now showing at Gallery 4A on Hay Street in Sydney as part of our Nightvision sunset to sunrise video series. Hay Street has a heavy pedestrian traffic, and The Hong Kong Agent has attracted many passerbys into stopping and enjoying Robert Iolini’s work. - GALLERY 4A
