Time in Perspective

8 Oct – 1 Nov, 2025

HART HAUS

With HART HAUS as venue and program partner, curated by Shirky Chan, “Time in Perspective” presents a Duo exhibition of two contemporary artists, Boon Lee and Wenda Yiu, who delve into these vanishing narratives, transforming the textures of time into art. As In Western District of Hong Kong Island, where the rhythms of old and new Hong Kong intersect, traditional shops endure as quiet acts of resistance—guardians of memory, labor, and community. Through the engagements with local shopkeepers, the exhibition becomes a conversation between preservation and impermanence, where fleeting moments are given lasting form.

Boon Lee draws inspiration from the paradox of memory—how the distant past often feels more vivid than the present. His artworks from varied materials, including discarded cardboard, a medium embodying both resilience and transience. His pieces reflect the fragile survival of these spaces in a city racing toward erasure.

Wenda Yiu guides viewers through streets alive with memory, where every small shop or tea shop holds stories of community and identity. Her contemporary ink and mixed-media works capture these spaces not as relics but as dynamic entities, pulsating with life.

The exhibition invites audiences to pause at the threshold between past and future, listening closely to the echoes of what has been—and imagining what might yet emerge. Here, endings are not conclusions but possibilities for reinvention.
