Elizabeth Briel: Impressions: What Lies Beneath Paris and Hong Kong at JCCAC


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

This exhibition of impressions from two great world cities examines what is often overlooked in busy lives: what lies beneath our feet. Artist Elizabeth Briel has impressed the characteristic hexagonal and octagonal tiles of Hong Kong and Paris into copper and paper to create urban prints directly from the city itself. This act is an interaction with architecture that will soon be destroyed and remade as part of urban renewal. Accompanying the prints are videos of the two cities' architecture and their interplay with raw materials, a meditation on what we often neglect as foundations of our lives today.
