Crescendo Imagery explores visual storytelling methods and experiential narratives, addressing the limitation of photography and embodying subtle sentiments of protest experience. The design project narrates the Anti-ELAB protests from diverse perspectives, outside of the scope of mass media, balancing the repetitive impression of sensational images and emphasising the value of personal documentation. Exploring the boundaries of traditional communication media and experimental narration, this project hopes to communicate to a broader audience, enriching their understanding of the Anti-ELAB protests, and to encourage others to explore forms of personal documentation.
With the background of inferno written by Dante and the drawing “the abyss of hell” by Sandro Botticelli, a modern version of inferno based on hong kong will be shown. The landscape will be the deconstruction and reconstruction of the drawing “the abyss of hell” and details of drawing will be photography of hong kong.The title seven sins and three rings comes from the peom content. Dante divided the inferno as 10 zones including seven sins (lust, gluttonous, greed, wrathful, heratics, violence, and fraud) and three rings as connections to sins (limbo, great barrier and waterfall, well of gaints).Based on the world view from the poem and photos of Hong Kong, an axonometric inferno is built together with a mandala as an exit of inferno. Further more, 5 set of design resolutions(limbo, lust, gluttony, greed and link) with details such as axonometric drawing, patterns, lighting, music are constructed together through 360 videos.
