Description
What does “The 5th Summer” mean? This name does not specify an exact beginning or an end. If we look back at the past five years, we can assume that the first of the five summers began in 2014. 2014 truly was an evocative year, which can also be said for 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018. Whereby, 2019 may be an even more evocative year than the past.
The theme of the exhibition, Summer, sounds very abstract, but the artworks within are not abstract at all. Instead, every piece of work possesses a deep, nebulous and equivocal manner. The exhibition will feature two sets of stop motion artworks, one set completed last year and the latter in this year. The artist June, WONG Siu Ling, integrates a series of sketches and collages to create her stop motion pieces, which feature images and sounds of everyday life. Yet, through the use of a monochromatic palette and a series of photomontage, June is able to reflect the sense of melancholy in everyday life.
