Phoebe Ching Ying MAN’s video ‘Homescape’ is a response to the real estate TV commercials in Hong Kong. These TV commercials look the same. They do not show the real apartments. Beautiful women, palaces, cruises and huge gardens are the usual images. There are images which suggest that one will have power after buying the product. For example, you will be a boss or a commander. The scale of the products (buildings) is often enlarged to show they are unique and powerful. Phoebe mixed some real estate promotional videos, photos reflecting the real living environment in Hong Kong as well as scintillating grid illusion in the work to highlight the illusion created by these T V commercials. The images are like cages at the same time. Many people walk into these traps voluntarily. The video reflects the reality and also questions if there are other choices in life. The scintillating grid illusion is a classic optical illusion. When you look at it, for a while, you can see dark dots that seem to be jumping around at random intersections.
