Wong Sze Wai: Cabinet of Curiosities at Contemporary by Angela Li


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Contemporary by Angela Li is proud to present “Cabinet of Curiosities”, solo exhibition by artist Wong Sze Wai, featuring her latest body of works that will guide the audience into an enigmatic and exploratory realm of wonders.

Wong Sze Wai utilises memories, overlooked places, and old objects in the city as cues to shape her own distinctive world. Drawing on the 15th Century theme of the "Cabinet of Wunderkammer," she presents her world through exploration and reconstruction of the city from a collection of historical artifacts, everyday objects and images from urban life. Wong investigates the hidden corners of the city, drawing on her visual memories and experiences to form her artwork. Wong highlights certain symbolic objects, like stone statues, toys and receipts, which represent particular memories in our minds. She also creates narratives that express her own emotions, crafting her special spiritual landscape.

Opening reception: 17 Oct Thur 6-8PM

Gallery address: G/F, 248 Hollywood Road, Sheung Wan
