DECONSTRUCTING A SELF RECONSTRUCTING A SELF
Is it good fortune
To be a FoxyFox
Knowing little
Bits of lots and lots
But having not one
Big thing in which to range –
Not one BigThing to rearrange?
[With apologies to Isaiah Berlin]
In Hong Kong and Taipei I purchased illustrated Chinese texts, and when I asked friends “What is this about?” their answers were usually something like, “It’s about how to have good fortune.” Well, I thought, “I’ll use these texts to make my own books of fortune.” I made two accordion books with images and text; one is in the collection of Hong Kong artists Ma Kwai Shun and Liu Siu Jane and the second is in my possession.

I TRIED TO IMAGINE WHAT MY LIFE WOULD BE LIKE IF I WERE KWOK
In Hong Kong I hatched a plan to do a collaborative piece with Kwok, but I didn’t tell him about it.
I invited Hong Kong artist Kwok Mang Ho to make a presentation in my PerformanceArt/InstallationArt class at the Hong Kong Institute of Education. Kwok who calls himself the FrogKing came dressed as a goggled alien in drag, transformed the studio in a thousand ways in a thousand seconds – and transfixed the students. Kwok soon appeared in my visual journal and my first fortune book.

FROGKING KWOK
Paid an old man
Slow of mind and speech
To scavenge HK’s streets &
NY, London, Paris, Cairo, Rio too
And dump detritus on his doorstep
From it he made his art his life himself
