Kongkee: Future Jataka

gdm Hong Kong is pleased to present “Kongkee: Future Jataka”, the artist’s debut exhibition at the gallery, featuring Kongkee’s new bodies of work, including LED animations, lenticular lightbox, neon installation, and mixed-media paintings. Through a rich tapestry of mediums, Kongkee opens up a dialogue set in an imagined future where artificial intelligence, spirituality, and humanity collide, inviting the audience to contemplate how enlightenment and humanity manifest amidst the ever-changing digital era.

Inspired by the Jataka Tales of the Buddha’s past lives, Kongkee envisions a future where religious and spiritual figures are reincarnated in a technologically advanced future filled with flickering screens and winding cables. In this world, spiritual figures take on new incarnations—a buddha observes the world through the lens of a video recorder, a binge-watching buddha is engrossed in consuming digital content, a mechanized Virgin Mary carries a robotic child in her womb.

The artist poses thought-provoking questions—What if religious figures were reborn in the future? How would they make sense of our world? How would they attain enlightenment? How might they guide humanity?
