The time between 0 o’clock and dawn is ambiguous. Perhaps its existence is beyond the boundary of day and night and therefore presents itself as an individual. When the spirit and body have to be devoted during the day, they gradually become sluggish and dazed at night time. The only left for midnight, the time you are still awake, is muddy yet precious. Consciously escape from unconscious actions, trying to sort out the meaning of existence through the crack, analyzing and recording the up-and-down of myself.

Yrellag Gallery is honoured to present “in the m i d n i g h t”, a solo exhibition by Yuen Lai Yi showcasing paintings as a self-dialogue.

When we split the time and fill it with different purposes, time seems no longer to be an objective number, but a subjective duration experienced with personal projection. To us, it constructs its meanings, a time with texture of its own. Narrating flowing thoughts about self, relation, decision and time, it merges into a journey in the midnight, an interval of a day, and a time for thoughts.

Opening reception: 4 May, 5 - 7pm (Saturday) The artist will be present.

Gallery address: 3A Prince’s Terrace, Central
