Lee Kai Chung: Once I Wake Up, My Body is Old at WMA Space


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

‘Once I Wake Up, My Body is Old’, a solo exhibition by Lee Kai Chung, is the finale of the project The Retrieval, Restoration and Predicament, which Lee conceived around the concept of ‘Transition’ for the WMA Commission grant (2018). It is preceded by ‘I Could Not Recall How I Got Here’ shown at WMA Space in 2019. The latest exhibition will be on view at WMA Space from November 12th to December 6th.

‘Once I Wake Up, My Body is Old’ revisits the seizure of 11 bronze statues by the Imperial Japanese Army from the Statue Square in Central during the WWII and their subsequent return to Hong Kong, a 30-minute-long interweaving of wartime and personal narratives.

Gallery address: 8/F, Chun Wo Commercial Building, Central
