Description
Content:
Between September 2013 and August 2015, Gum does push-ups every night before bedtime (20 push-ups for the first day, and, with an increase everyday, more than 50 push-ups after one month, and then proceeding to 100 push-ups until now). This simple repetition of the same activities has been continued for two years in order to “sculpt” the artist’s body, which becomes the material for art making. During the time being, Gum also has taken one self-portrait each week.
Exhibit:
The artist photographer, Martin Cheung, who is very experienced in film stills, is invited to shoot a portrait series of Gum Cheng. This photo series echoes the atmosphere of the exhibition venue, a bar setting. About 10 photographs from this series will be selected and printed out in A2 format for the exhibition.
Meanwhile, all the portraits taken during the 100 weeks will be combined together in order to produce a stop-motion animation. One can witness the changes and endurance of the artist within a minute, through the animation film played with monitor and projector at the exhibition venue.
Note：This event record is compiled from "Hong Kong Visual Arts Yearbook 2015" published by Department of Fine Arts, The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
