Two Or Three Things I Know About Them
Synopsis
This early video work by Anson Mak unfolds in four parts: found footage exploring gender ambiguity in Cantonese Opera, a dance sequence in Central, an interview with a lesbian woman, and commentary from a friend in the form of a reflexive documentary. Together, these segments probe the representation and subjectivity of femininity and queer identity in early 1990s Hong Kong.
