Anamnesis – Photography Exhibition By Deacon Lui

Description

Description

“Apart from language and values, what truly connects HongKongers is suffering”, says Brian Leung Kai-ping who stormed Legco on July 1st, 2019.
Anamnesis – the chasm between forgetting and remembering; the perplexity and helplessness when suffering is recalled. Bombarded with an abundance of information every day, there had been simply too much to remember in 2019. While obscure memories struggle to stay, our minds remain blank the next day when we wake up, as if everything were just a – “dream”.
As a sense of hopelessness grows with time, recollecting all the scenes that we saw and the feelings that we had over the past year may do us more harm than good – it’s our instinct to evade misery. Now we are often benumbed by the false sense of peace in the society. Our sensations and throbs are gradually becoming blurry bits and pieces of history in our heads like parallel universes.
This exhibition showcases some out-of-focus images taken last year, presenting histories that may “be disappeared”, while conveying the bewilderment when reminiscence hits hard. How, after all, do we live with our nastiest wounds?
