Fruits of Fury

Fruits of Fury is a martial arts music video made in reaction to Hong Kong’s Urban Renewal Authority’s plans to effectively remove the Central wet market in favor of building new residential and commercial complexes. The story: Two strangers, going grocery shopping, fight for ‘bok choy’ and end up going at each other with whatever’s around them – fresh flowers, fruits, vegetables, fish and pork. Finally, they grow exhausted, call it truce and grab a bite to eat at the nearby ‘dai pai dong’. They become fast friends, until it came time to settling the bill…

Created by: Cassandra Chan, Emma-Jade Li, Edwin Lee (Completed: August 2007)

Screenings: High & Dry – a multi-media exhibition (www.highanddry.com.hk) in celebration of the city’s street markets.
