Duckling Hill - Exhibition

Duckling Hill was an exhibition that examined the informal appropriation of an urban hillside embedded within the dense new town of Tseung Kwan O, Hong Kong. Through mappings, drawings, photographs, and field documentation, the exhibition revealed how local residents gradually transformed the hill into a shared landscape through self-built paths, shelters, gardens, and ritual spaces. Rather than treating these interventions as illegal or marginal, the exhibition highlighted them as expressions of collective care, ecological knowledge, and everyday inhabitation. Duckling Hill was presented as a lived buffer zone, offering alternative perspectives on people-centered landscape formation and participatory urban practices.
