prefer to forget / 稍 稍｜Exhibition Introduction

"The wind will blow over you and you will become the wind.

No one is present, no one attends, no one mourns."

• Xia Yu, "I Don't Know I've Given My Morning"

Memory always remains in the bright sunlight.

We gaze at the changing of time, as if the words in memory are disappearing, and those images with their eroded meanings, purposes, or faint markings on the surface,

gradually disappear into time. Both the painter and the filmmaker use different mediums to bring their bodies and memories together,

trying to describe the silence that occurs between paragraphs through a kind of language.

About the Artist

Yuk Kee

Two individuals have continued their family's grocery store, named "Yu Kee," located in the Shuang Feng Street Market in Wong Tai Sin since 2017. They take walks along the way, piecing together a small space of common and unremarkable daily fragments. They create a series of works through painting, hand molding, and metalworking, exploring the connection between people and surroundings, paying attention to the disappearing natural environment, and seeking more companionship and honesty in their surroundings.

Lai Ching Ching explores the essence of the material and the representation of cell flow through mediums such as sketching, photography, and contemporary jewelry-making. The most commonly appearing element in her work is the form of plants thriving and withering.

Ting Sze Lok primarily uses painting and hand molding as her creative mediums. Through daily walks in the city and small observations in mountain path jungles, her works display common and unremarkable fragments.
