Phoebe Hui: The Garden of Resemblances

EVENT DESCRIPTION

Oi! Spotlight invites artist Phoebe Hui to present the exhibition The Garden of Resemblances. Through a series of interactive installations that blend art and technology, the exhibition takes the audience on a journey of healing and imagination.

Drawing inspiration from the 16th century Western medical concept of the Doctrine of Signatures, Hui observes closely the similarities between human and plant forms, and combines organic elements with artificial mechanisms to create a nebulous state between reality and illusion. Each artwork in the exhibition is like a window which invites viewers to explore the connections between plants and the human body.

By transforming the exhibition space into a dreamlike, otherworldly environment, the project blurs the boundaries between nature, technology, and imagination. The garden serves as an experiential landscape, inviting visitors to wander through a liminal space between the real and the imagined. Integrating the organic with the mechanical, and the natural with the artificial, the installation offers a meditative journey—an opportunity to pause, breathe, and immerse oneself in a world of wonder.
