計劃始於一張在維港付費找攝影師拍攝的照片，我嘗試轉換身分，喬裝成遊客，為自己製造一張旅遊明信片。
在研究香港的旅遊明信片時發現了有關香港節的資料。計劃第二部參考香港旅遊明信片中五光十色的高飽和度色彩剪輯影片，以 LED 燈出現的頻閃效應和建築模型借喻這種對生活的美好想像，終究只是錯覺。
計劃的第三部分，我利用當時拍下的照片價格作為成本預算，3D 打印了照片背景的維港景色，在預算不足的情況下，打印途在中途就擱置，大樓去頂，缺失。
The project begins with a photo of me on the Victoria Harbour, taken by a paid photographer. I tried to switch my identity from a citizen to a visitor. The photo inspired me to reflect the subject of the tourist gaze.
On my research about Hong Kong postcards, I found some documents about the festival of Hong Kong. The second part of the project is a video referencing the vivid, highly saturated colours of postcards in its editing, using the flashing effect of LED lights and architectural model to symbolise the idealised vision of a good life, which ultimately is just an illusion.
The third part is a 3D model based on the background view of the photo I bought. I used the price of that photo as my budget to print out that model. It turned out unfinished. Buildings without ceilings, missing parts.
