Imprints of Time at Tang Contemporary (WCH)


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Imprints of Time is more than an exhibition—it is a living dialogue that transcends time, dissolving the boundaries between past and future to weave Hong Kong’s collective memory into an unfolding, flowing narrative. Featuring ten artists spanning from the post-80s generation to Gen-Z, this show explores the intimate resonance between personal identity and the city’s soul. Their works rise beyond individual expression to form a rich cultural polyphony—layered histories, constant reinventions, and the resilient core of selfhood amidst relentless change.

In this ever-shifting metropolis, transformation itself becomes the central theme. Each artwork acts as a temporal amber—preserving vanished moments and crystallizing fragile poetry that lingers before dissolution. Through varied media—drawing, painting, sculpture, and installation—the artists decode Hong Kong’s cultural alchemy, translating its hybrid heritage into a vivid visual poetry.

Peter Hong-Tsun Chan, Kila Cheung, Chow Chun Fai, Kwong Man Chun, Lewis Lee, Ling Wai Shan, Jade Ching-yuk Ng, Pak Sheung Chuen, Tam Kwan Yuen, Angela Yuen.
