Scattered throughout Hong Kong’s urban constructions are small "sitting-out areas”. Those interstitial spaces are remnants amidst rigid, rectilinear forms, serving as pauses between zones of purely functional utility. Place a bench, plant a few white champak trees, and erect a streetlamp. An impromptu network for rest, open to all, is woven into existence. Overlapping figures come and go, sharing a space that straddles the public and the private. In the study of lingering, a dancer’s body immerses in the spontaneous web of coexistence, touching each passing figure, then, after all, returning to the self.
