Start From Seeing – Solo Exhibition By Samson Cheung Choi Sang

Description
‘It is not easy to find out since when this pinball was shot off, but the exhibition probably reveals the status of this pinball running back and forth amongst many different pins and nails. I started with taking up a camera to photograph landscapes, then picked up daily life objects, like a rock, a lamp shield and a measuring tape, to explore the relationships between sound and space, and between audience and performers. Hydrogen balloons and glasses with mud on street also came into the picture, anticipating sudden explosion and the fear of the passersby during the gravity calibration. The “spectacular” scene with fans, projectors, aluminum paper and wood box etc. becomes a conclusion for the moment, after all.’
The pinball machine is an analogy that came to Samson’s mind after he invited Clara Cheung to be the “dialogue developer” during his preparation for the current exhibition. In their conversations, they talked about how he started with studying photography and then further developed his current practice. The exhibition title, “Start from Seeing…,” was also derived from the dialogues.
