DOUBLE VISION
This exhibition explores the notion of doubling, particularly that of “déjà vu”. It attempts to conjure up a sense of disorientation, of reality being hollowed out. It playfully foregrounds perception, by providing mirrored scenarios with a layout repeated on the two floors of the exhibition space, where one might experience the same situation twice.
Until 12 June – Tai Kwun, Central

This exhibition highlights her distinctive methods of storytelling, addressing collective issues of social injustice.
