Monument is the timepiece reminds us of our history and our identity. The location of monuments in a city always reflects the structure of local power as we find major monuments always occupy the most prestigious locations in a city. The city map of Hong Kong is divided into four sections and silk-screened on the surface of four steel platforms. Locations of major monuments are identified and marked. While the platforms turn, there is no more absolute center and margin. Location becomes only a relative term in description.
