Dolly Land is a fantastical exhibition created by Hong Kong artist Jess Leung Lai-man, who uses ink and brush as a bridge connecting past and present, memory and dream. Through three interwoven series of works, this exhibition poses a timeless question: how have the objects and spaces that carry our hopes and define our image—from ancient times to today—acted as a mirror, reflecting the soul of an era and the inner landscape of the individual?
The exhibition opens on a modern echo of an ancient painting. Ji Sheng's Ming Dynasty work, The Peddler, records everyday life. The dazzling array of birds and toys on the peddler's stand ignite wonder in children's eyes — they are not merely goods, but anticipation for a novel world. In Dolly Land, Leung reinterprets this spirit for the modern era, transforming these ancient stalls into consignment stores, gachapon machines and sought-after art toys. This series is a dialogue through time and space — regardless of the era, we project our dreams and expectations onto objects.
