The Handbook (Visual Exploration)The Handbook is a visual archive of gestures used by protestors from the Hong Kong Anti-Extradition Bill Protests in 2019-2020. Through material research and iterative experimentation, various interpretations of these gestures were explored—Absence, Air Dance, Double Exposure Flipbooks, Motion Track, Presence, Shape of Motion, Skeleton, serving as stepping stones toward the final execution of the design project.
