The Days Before The Silent Spring was a commissioned project supported by WMA Hong Kong from the Hong Kong based artist Lo Lai Lai Natalie. Lai Lai has been engaged in a continuous contemplation of farming practice and ecology, her observations of which are closely-tied to a concern for the social climate in the city of Hong Kong, the vicissitudes and dynamics which transpire between the individual and the collective and the choices which emerge from and contribute to these.

This multi-channel video installation sees the artist weave together a spectrum of footage shot from different points of view in an homage to the decade-long journey of the farming collective Sangwoodgoon(生活館, literally ”House of Living”), to which she belongs, while reflecting on the multitude of worlds tied together and myriad of life-forms germinated by the practice of farming.
