I meet Pia Kintrup in a caf\u00e9 in Hamburg-Eppendorf. She tells me that she has a special connection to Hong Kong &#8211; since the artist has visited the city many times in recent years, she even felt at home there.<\/p>\n<p>Two years ago things got serious. Chinese police marched up &#8211; the situation escalated. And Pia Kintrup was right in the middle of it, when policemen fired tear gas into the crowd and beat demonstrators.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4568 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/hamburgarts.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Pia-Kintrup_HONG-KONG-Installation_xpon_17-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 22px;\">Pia tells me about all the horrors that happened in the city.

The installation refers to this event: In the summer of 2021, the first case under the new controversial security law was heard. The 24-year-old Tong Ying-kit was accused of breaking through a police barrier during a demonstration with his motorcycle and allegedly injuring three police officers.

For me it is a great loss. I can&#8217;t go back there either, that would be much too dangerous. I can&#8217;t even send emails there, that would also be too dangerous for the people living there.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h5><strong>What do you think about the exhibition at xpon Art Gallery?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5><strong>Pia Kintrup<\/strong>: &#8220;I thought it was great that the gallery dares to do this. That you use the freedom that we have in Germany. That is done far too rarely. It&#8217;s a privilege to live here.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h5><strong>What did you draw from this for yourself as an artist?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5><strong>Pia Kintrup<\/strong>: &#8220;For me, it was a clear, bold performance. This big space all for me, that&#8217;s where you take a stand. But I was also totally relieved when it was over. That was my most difficult job ever. For me it was a personal hell, I had to built up the installation for days, there were 260 stones.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h5><strong>What is your artistic working method?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5><strong>Pia Kintrup<\/strong>: &#8220;On the whole, I work in multimedia and now I see myself more as a visual artist than as a photographer. Even during my studies, it quickly became clear that I could not define myself exclusively in photographic terms or through artistic photography. I was always a kind of border crosser among my fellow students, and I picked up knowledge and craft skills from all the disciplines I could use. In between, no one knew what I was actually enrolled in. I also dabbled in sculpture, surreal film and experimental design. That&#8217;s why I work so freely today.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5079\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5079\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5079 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/hamburgarts.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Pia-Kintrup_HK-Snaps_7-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5079\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Artist Pia Kintrup, skyline of Hong Kong<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h5><strong>How are the people in Hong Kong today?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<h5><strong>Pia Kintrup<\/strong>: &#8220;The people are desperate and defenseless. They simply don&#8217;t want to be absorbed by China&#8217;s power apparatus. I saw scenes on the streets with bleeding people, the police did not allow any help. They beat teenagers, and even pregnant women. There were also thugs on the streets. In the metro, everyone was very scared, everyone was looking toward the doors of the train.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<h3>Hong Kong: Scenes of rampant violence<\/h3>\n<p>The fear of Chinese police is well-founded. On August 31 two years ago, Prince Edward Station in Hong Kong was the scene of severe, violent attacks by numerous forces: police officers tried to arrest protesters on the metro, and also arbitrarily and brutally attacked harmless passengers. This police operation is documented with photos and videos.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4784\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4784\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4784\" src=\"https:\/\/hamburgarts.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Hkpoliceshootingcitizen.png\" alt=\"\u00a9 www.chinatimes.com\/?chdt - wikimedia commons\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hamburgarts.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Hkpoliceshootingcitizen.png 900w, https:\/\/hamburgarts.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Hkpoliceshootingcitizen-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/hamburgarts.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Hkpoliceshootingcitizen-150x85.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4784\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 www.chinatimes.com\/?chdt &#8211; Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4786\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4786\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4786\" src=\"https:\/\/hamburgarts.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/\u592a\u5b50\u8972\u64ca.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hamburgarts.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/\u592a\u5b50\u8972\u64ca.jpeg 960w, https:\/\/hamburgarts.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/\u592a\u5b50\u8972\u64ca-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/hamburgarts.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/\u592a\u5b50\u8972\u64ca-150x100.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4786\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u00a9 CC by 4.0 Pakkin Leung @Rice Post, Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Update: Hong Kong today, December 2021<\/h3>\n<p>The U.S. has announced a diplomatic boycott of the Winter Olympics in China. However, American athletes will compete there.<\/p>\n<p>The new security law enacted by China has been sharply criticized internationally. Civil rights and democracy activists in Hong Kong continue to be arrested and sentenced to prison. In late October, Amnesty International closed its Hong Kong office, saying the controversial security law enforced by China made their work impossible. Hong Kong&#8217;s election law was reformed in March 2021. According to European media reports, this will undermine democracy. Hong Kong&#8217;s parliament would then be dominated by representatives loyal to Peking. And the inhabitants are already feeling this directly. An important sculpture (&#8220;The Pillar of Shame&#8221;), created by Danish artist Jens Galschiot,\u00a0 has been removed from the university campus on December 23. The critical work of art commemorates the Tiananmen Massacre of 1989.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4772\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4772\" style=\"width: 768px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4772\" src=\"https:\/\/hamburgarts.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/HKU_Pillar_of_Shame_in_Orange_Color_05a.jpeg\" alt=\"Von PSH851 -
