Description

Stored Knowledge: Visualizing Yue Wan Market

What's good about the local public markets, when compared with supermarkets and shopping malls, is not immediately visible. After months of intensive fieldwork and observation in Yue Wan Public Market, I realized that each messy appearance of the market stores is not an outmoded spectacle, but itself stores some unique knowledge and folk wisdom, which can only be made visible with patience and care.

In this project, three market stores are selected: Mei Kei Clothes Store, Mrs. Law's Snack Store and Mr. Ng's Butcher Store. While each has its own stored knowledge, different methods of visualization were designed and used, for example, layered representation, photo-stocktaking and timeline storyboard.

The project shows that no single visual method is sufficient in the study of the local public market; its treasure is stored disparately in different stores, awaiting its own visualization.
