“Searching for Mr. De(mocracy)” was an old watchword in China during the May 4th Movement in 1919. “Mr. Democracy” became a popular metaphor of a better society and country. In the protest rally against the construction of the Express Rail Link in Hong Kong,, I dressed as a La Jeunesse arose during the May 4th Movement. Then, I spread a banner read “Mr. Democracy is Absent” over my arms and invited people or activists to take photos with me. These photos were shown in a crossover exhibition comparing the post 80’s generation living in Hong Kong and Guangzhou.
