Lau Chi Chung’s installation artwork The Dayspring of Eternity revolves around the existence and disappearance of the State Theatre on King’s Road in North Point, meticulously depicting Lau’s childhood memories of the site. To Lau, the neighbourhood of North Point is the product of Shanghainese and Fujianese immigrants who moved south in the 1940s and 1950s, once embodying the prosperity and vibrancy of life in Hong Kong. Over seventy years later, people and things have inevitably changed, yet traces of the past remain. Lau will personally lead a stroll along King’s Road from North Point to Quarry Bay, narrating the little stories behind his installation art along the way.

劉智聰的裝置藝術，以皇都戲院的存在與消逝為主軸，細緻展現劉氏在英皇道上度過小學生涯及區內工作的種種回憶。在劉氏眼中，北角由上世紀四五十年代南來的上海及福建人一手創建，反映香港繁華和多姿多采的一面。經過逾七十年洗禮，人與物必然變改，唯舊日痕跡猶在。劉氏將帶領大家沿英皇道漫步，以油街起步，至鰂魚涌為終點，細道裝置藝術背後的小故事，為大家點出值得拍照存念的風物和景致。
