Videotage has long been referred as the synonym of local video art. In the past two decades, Videotage celebrates video as an individual media art form, instead of a subgenre of film and television.

Established shortly after the Sino-British Joint Declaration in 1984, Videotage bears a deliberate stance in liberating the authentic voices of Hong Kong people. Over the past two decades, it provokes the spirit of independence, individual, autonomy and experiment in the local art scene.

Now, pacing into the digital era, it continues to open up the search for new possibility of new media production.

“The Long March Framed” is the program of Videotage in celebration of its 20 th anniversary. It contains Videotage's most significant art pieces, which are readily put under 5 different themes in catering the various flavors and foci of our targeted clients:

Reverse Play

Every good art piece transcends its medium by referring to itself. In Reverse Play, there are a number of videos, which refer to the aesthetics and technical concepts of video art, their effects and their limitations. Collectively, they demonstrate what it is we called “video art.”

Fast Shuffle

Roads and buildings, they are the intersection points of our daily visual experience in Hong Kong . In Fast Shuffle, we collect a number of videos which show how the flashes of city act as a cultural text, presenting the landscape of concrete jungle and cultural desert, speaking of an authentic identity in this artificial organism or living mechanism which we called home.

Rough Cut

Video is used as a tool to capture the shadow of life. Rouge Cut contains those self reflexive videos, trying to use video as a media to search for an identity / question the identity, in terms of national, gender or cultural identity.
