FRAS: Kawloon - The World's Largest Apartment Building

Kawloon – one massive apartment block. The world's largest apartment building, which no longer exists. Intricate, endless, dark alleyways where anyone who doesn't belong will get lost. At the gate of this building stands Tuan, completely alone, and he needs to get inside – to find a path to a new home.

Kawloon Walled City was a part of Hong Kong that was not subject to any government control. From an original defensive fortress, there gradually grew one enormous building sprawling across 0.026 km², which was home to more than fifty thousand residents. This puppet show tells the story of discovering this intricate place and searching for a new home through projection, light, and sound animation.
