Garden of earthly delights
Currently showing at Wyndham Social, Of Being There... is ceramic artist Sara Tse Suk-ting's deeply personal meditation on the rich history of Wyndham Street, manifest in porcelain objects, installations, sculptures, drawings and videos created by the artist since 2009.
Curator David Chan Ho-yeung describes the site-specific exhibition as immersive, and the site-specific exhibition does feel like stepping into another world. The show was partly inspired by Tse's discovery, as she trawled through archives of local history, that an important botanical garden once stood in the area. To re-create what it may have been like, decals of photos taken on a hike around the Peak have been applied to the floor-to-ceiling windows on one side of the gallery space, inviting bright sunlight to filter through the greens and browns of the trees.
Situated in the lobby of the building that was formerly LKF Tower - now rebranded as 33 Wyndham Street - Wyndham Social is a self-described "contemporary platform for collective exchanges". Art exhibitions held since the space opened last summer have included Post-Impressionist views of Hong Kong, and a Goldfish Market-inspired collection of hand-embroidered plastic bags.
