Fight Club

2024

SHORT FILM

An integral part of the "Queer Spire" art installation, this film is a collaborative project by Hugo Wang and Momo Mao. Through simulated boxing scenes, the film visually portrays the ongoing struggle of the LGBTQ+ community against societal prejudice and conventional constraints. Inspired by the "Fight Club" concept, the "fighting" in the film transcends its literal meaning of violence, instead symbolizing the courage, resistance, and resilience shown by the Queer community in their pursuit of freedom, equality, and dignity. The artists employ an impactful "aggressive aesthetic," fusing confrontational slogans with visual elements to challenge the audience and compel them to confront marginalized voices. This film is not merely a representation of oppression, but an emotional transition from anger to hope, transforming the symbol of "battle" into a powerful call for peace and inclusion.
