For over a decade, Phasmahammer has been co-creating ‘Nightcraft’ – a collaborative practice that makes alternate spaces for collective presence and social worlds. Informed by witchcraft, the nighttime subverts familiar roles and social orders, making room for expanded ways of sensing and marginalised voices. These happenings are sites of solidarity and communal healing, bridging the ancestral and futuristic, while Phasmahammer’s work across nightclubs, galleries, and theatres cultivate a parallelecology to rehearse possible futures.
In The Littoral Drift, new creatures emerge at dusk from the littoral zone where land meets water, shifting constantly with tides and currents. Inspired by amphibious species and hybrid bodies, the work explores survival and adaptive strategies in fluctuating living conditions, with gestures of in-betweenness—ingesting and surrendering, turning inward and outwards, circling in loops—drawing on local species from Hong Kong’s island landscapes. Aquatic fragments assemble into wearable miniatures and prosthetics, extending bodies into hybrid forms. The interspecies figure resists parasitic or symbiotic beings, aspiring to the fluid states between human and non-human forms.
