Sex Be With You at Novalis Art Design


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Sex is everywhere. We are surrounded by sex, especially in this consumerist age, where sex has been used to sell products through a near-constant bombardment of imagery. The ready availability of online porn and other digital media has made the rampant consumption of sex possible. The proliferation of sexualisation in mainstream media has made it less taboo. Sex out of marriage is no longer frowned upon, we are urged to celebrate our own sexuality. This is indeed a thing to be celebrated! And yet, with sex becoming commonplace, it seems to have led to an increase in the mindless consumption of it.

More and more people are increasingly blinded to the power of sex, that in any act of sex, power is being exerted on, or being taken away from someone or something.Sex (be it the act itself, the projected image of it, manifestations in visual culture, or the desire of it) and power are inherently intertwined with each other.

This exhibition is an invitation to both the audience and the artists Lau Hong Lam, IV Chan, Florence Lam, and Batten and Kamp to re-examine this relationship between sex and power that permeates our society.
