Best Before Picnic at The Gallery of Hong Kong Art School


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Unbeknownst to us, an hour has slipped away. Time, in its essence, bears no mark; the circle seems to be its vessel. 

This exhibition is inspired by a casual exchange at a street corner, where four individuals unwittingly turned together in synchrony without conscious.  Myriad possibilities unfurl—these subtle, unrecognized movements often go unnoticed. Individual actions and decisions subtly guide the collective flow; while each person retains a sense of self-awareness, it facilitates an unspoken gesture among the four.

This exhibition showcases the reflections of four artists on the changes occurring in the daily and social fabric, those transformations that transpire in a state of ā€œunawareness.ā€ Through diverse sensory experiences, they resurrect these overlooked fragments, inviting the audience to rediscover habits altered in the depths of the unconscious. Each artist approaches the theme from distinct angles: ā€œCirculation,ā€ ā€œNumbness,ā€ ā€œRuminating,ā€ and ā€œHabit,ā€ presenting their insights into the essence of the ā€œunconscious.ā€
