31.10.2003 - 23.11.2003
Stereotypes of genders are still very common in our city of the twenty-first
century but contemporary art would always like to remind us our shortcomings.
From October 31 to November 23, 2003 Para/Site Art Space proudly present at its
Sheung Wan premises the dual solo exhibitions of Rita Hui and Inam Yong whose
art explores the way how we look at different genders and our relationships with
others.
Rita Hui, a local video artist who has her video work screened internationally
will exhibit her latest work Displacement ab-ject in form of installation of
four monitors of different size. Inspired by an intimate relationship with an
imagined woman of water who passed away, Hui produced video images of the death
of the woman and close-ups of the body to explore the meaning of memory, self
and the perception of woman images.
The Hong Kong-born but San Francisco-based Inam Yong has been working with the
media of video, sculpture and installation. His previous work has exhibited the
sadness of the fall of heroism. His new work at Para/Site, 23 Million Years of
Foreplay, was conceived out his fascination of Kashmir Shivaism, an ancient
Hindu philosophy in which the god Shiva stands beyond the limits of sex to be
described He, She or It. From his idea of Shivaism, he builds a micro-cosmology
out of foam-boards and masking tapes to reflect our inherent spiritual
possibility.
