HART HAUS invites you to step into Offscum: Offffffloor Edition, starting 18 May, featuring HART Studio Artist Duo Tracy Cheng and Shera Cho. Step into an immersive journey where flesh and technology collide in a near‑future world, and explore a convenience store offering radical body renewal that blurs the line between human instinct and machine desire.
Offscum: Offffffloor Edition, the immersive exhibition by artist duo Cho Sum Yuet, Shera (b. 2000, Hong Kong) and Cheng Lok Yi, Tracy (b. 2000, Hong Kong), returns for a second presentation at HART HAUS G/F following its successful debut at P’Artiste.
As their ninth collaborative work, Offscum delivers a compelling exploration of corporeality in a near-future posthuman era. The exhibition centres on the transformative yet strained relationship between implantable technology and human flesh. Through the primal pulse of muscle – the instinctive heartbeat of the body – it examines the fragile boundary between human and cyborg. In doing so, Offscum invites viewers to confront primal desires and their descent toward madness under the pressures of time, morality, and aesthetics.
Inspired by a futuristic convenience store, the exhibition presents a series of speculative technological products under the fictional #VitalAnew Convenience Store. These works offer a one-stop body-renewal service that promises to reconnect machines and flesh.
Gallery address: G/F, Cheung Hing Industrial Building, 12P Smithfield, Kennedy Town
