During the famous Hong Kong protests and Umbrella Movement, so called “Lennon Walls” have spread throughout the city since 2014. As a colourful mosaic they got known around the world as a form of public protest and free expression and are called the “sticky note revolution”. They carried messages about the love of freedom, protest against the government and other demands.
Like those citizens and activists, our wall makes a similar use of the public and urban environment as a form of creative display and public discourse.
Our installation in particular displays non-fictional quotes, facts, images and demands expressed by people suffering from ME/CFS and their allies online and via private messages (in this case, we asked what they would like to tell the world). It also symbolises a view into the (online) world of a bedbound person with ME/CFS, which usually stays invisible to others.
This way, we want to emphasise the voice of this group of people, their demands as well as the personal description of an extremely difficult situation and existence, in which staying alive becomes a form of protest in itself.
