Shum Kwan-yi: Landscape of Haven

EVENT DESCRIPTION

This exhibition draws inspiration from the first cave of the Mogao Grottoes and aims to ‘construct’ a landscape of interconnected caves. Through a contemporary interpretation of traditional landscape painting, it responds to the absurdity of the world and the inner struggles. The first part visually presents the landscapes inside and outside the caves from a first-person perspective. By deconstructing traditional landscape patterns, it reconstructs a crowded yet solitary alternate space. The second part further breaks down the landscapes into model pieces, revealing the fictional and assembled nature behind the creative process, and thus inviting the audience to collectively imagine and “construct” their caves.”     Shum Kwan yi
