Description
The Chinese version of Moon of the Moon, a brand-new comics by renowned Hong Kong comics artist Chi-tak Li, in collaboration with the Louvre Museum in France, is formally released!
Moon of the Moon set its background in the classical art museum of the Louvre and focuses on five decommissioned clones. They should have been dead, but two scientists clandestinely revived them, giving them new lives but spying on them in secret. The revived clones, however, severed all the connections. Did they achieve a form of self-consciousness? Is this experiment successful? Through a series of tracking and chasing, the revived clones and the two scientists finally met at the Louvre. Chi-tak Li has attempted to navigate the historic beauty of the Louvre in a fitting manner through this comic.
In other to deconstruct the new story and share with comics lovers some of the backstories during the creation process, Hong Kong Arts Centre (Comix Home Base) and Today Publications has co-organised a series of book launch activities including artist talk, book signing session and comics originals pop-up exhibition.
