A gaze of yearning. The look that you cannot hide on your face. You may be speechless, but those eyes won’t lie. It’s the very same gaze from an infant looking into its mother’s eyes, who yearns for the unconditional sacrifices from she who has given birth to it.
DESIRE Devant
The Hong Kong New Wave footages in DESIRE Devant are especially selected to convey the notion of DESIRE. Through the painstaking craft of Point Cloud visuals vis-à-vis carefully selected static shots from the movies, the different Hong Kong New Wave scenes are transcended into fragmented déjà vu moments that draw the viewers’ eyes into scrutinising the intricate details of such golden scenes, bringing a refreshing point of view into the oeuvre of Hong Kong cinematography.
Why the selected emotion “desire”?
To desire is to want. Wanting to yearn, and always yearning for more. That’s why there are also six sub-desires that gravitate towards our physical needs, of which one of them is the desire to survive. To live is to survive; it’s the primal instinct that found the rest of the seven emotions.
DESIRE would be represented by the symbol of THE HAND (Race: the Indigoes). The hand tells of more humanly feelings than we could have imagined — whether it is an unintentional touch, a simple wave to gesture, or flicking fingers — we all understand the different feelings from the owner of the hand. It’s an easy display of a desire.
The Native Symbol of the DESIRE ARCHETYPE
The Archetype of THE HAND is the AVATAR, whose Native Symbol is represented by the Mayan Resonant Tone of 7 in the family of In-digoes. RESONANT represents the channel to inspire attunement with sacred alignments, and yearning for practical application — the Hand alike. It is the mystical power of Seven that aligns: seven continents, seven wonders, seven chakras, seven planets, seven rays, seven steps of the pyramid, the seven stages of consciousness conjoined, and the seven emotions.
In our next Medium article, we will dive deeper into the connection between the collection of DESIRE, and how we incorporate selected movies from The Hong Kong New Wave cinema movement into our creative process.
