Angela Yuen: Mirage at Visual Arts Centre


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Artist Angela Yuen has a profound emotional and artistic connection with Hong Kong's urban culture, shaped by her unique perspective. By collecting nostalgic plastic toys, stationery, and locally distinctive ready-made objects, she transforms them into evocative sculptural works. Through light projection techniques, Yuen reinterprets Hong Kong's iconic skyline in a lively and artistic manner.

In this exhibition, Yuen expands on her signature approach, presenting the art installations specially created for the Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre. Her inspiration draws from the musical fountain displays that were popular in shopping mall public spaces during the 1990s—a hallmark of that era which has gradually faded away. Through large-scale installations incorporating kinetic lighting effects and objects embodying collective memory, Yuen evokes recollections of communal mall spaces and invites viewers to reflect on the changing rhythms of urban life.
