Mr Monkey sees Arrivals and Departures at Urbis, 17th January


"Why did the artist cross the road?"

Mr Monkey looking at pictures of a man standing on half a zebra crossing Mr Monkey watching footage of five people crossing a zebra crossing

Mr Monkey was interested in Pak Sheung-chuen's photographic and video work, inspired by finding half a zebra crossing on a Hong Kong street*. Mr Monkey enjoyed video interventions showing how long you could take walking across a zebra crossing, what happens when five people walk side by side, and how widen a zebra by two inches.

* The painters hadn't wanted to block the whole street with wet paint.
