OnSumFunGaao(OSFG), which means to sleep peacefully in Cantonese, is the name of our art project. The art project we made is an imaginary religion aims to help Hong Kong people to eliminate their fear and worries so that they can take good sleep at night.
We are inspired by the Pastafarianism, the church of Flying Spaghetti Monster to create our own religion. We make OSFG lampoon the Hong Kong Government and be sarcastic towards the current Hong Kong issues so as to express what we think and our sense of helplessness.
OSFG is a made up religion. It is presented as an altar the superior god is shown with a statue. The following gods are recorded on the holy book which is attached on the side. To show the idea of OSFG emerges into people’s daily lives, we installed our altar in one the lockers on the 4th floor of CMC. Since it is a place where students always go. Our OSFG has its own aims, concepts, and rituals, just as all the major religions in the world. This religion is created by an almighty God who leads other sub gods to save and protect Hong Kong’s core values. Each of them has its own role and abilities to fight against Hong Kong people’s worries and fears. All this information are recorded on the book of the Legends.
