Light Up At Soho House


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Light Up explores artistic, interactive and colourful representations of light and time in art through a multi-dimensional narrative. As an immersive exhibition with different acts, visitors are encouraged to become a part of the art using their own silhouette. The exhibition helps visitors reflect on a variety of light-related themes with an interdisciplinary collection of works - painting, dance, projection mapping, multimedia installation and more - for an expansive representation of light (and time) as an art form.

In the exhibition we will explore technological mediations of different art forms and invisible nature but deconstructing dualism between human and technology. We are rhizomatic assemblages, multiplicities in symbiotic relationships with things, sharing our common nature like light and sound, as electromagnetic waves that we and our technologies are composed of. Audiences are invited to translate nature, sound, light, textures into things we can feel rather than things we can see (critique of visuality). Let us delve into the observer effect, rediscover "the collapse of the wave function" where electrons exist in an infinite array of possibilities in an invisible field of energy - experience the immersiveness within.

Only when an observer focuses attention an electron appears and manifests in reality - light up your imagination.
