A small, black, toy-like vehicle labelled 'Presence' sits on a polished, patterned tiled floor of a historic building in Hong Kong, positioned before three miniature 'no entry' road signs. The scene, evocative of Rooftop Productions' (天台製作) experimental theatre work, captures a moment from the production 'Presence' (《遙距在場》), where architectural history meets contemporary performance. 1954 - the University purchased the property from the French Mission at the price of 1.6 million Hong Kong Dollars.
