Upon further processed by AI, the images generated in the series of YesYesYes was transformes into an image of entangled bodies, the resultant image is manually transferred onto the artist’s old shirts, the original composition appears only in exhausted tatters.
Yellowed, stained, and sewn together to mimic the image, the clothes recall the intimacy that is coveted yet lost in the collective desire to be worshipped.

An extension of YesYesYes, the work further emphasizes the tension between personal feelings and the images permeated in online dating culture, by adding the silicone mold of the artist as if a statue of god.
Insert a token, and get whatever the “god” has chosen for you. It is always the best arrangement.

Better Than Ever
永遠的神(yyds)
2022
Who are you? You are what you eat. You are what you breathe. You are what you see. You
are what you read. You are what you hear. And you are what you meet. You are where you
were born into. You are who you grow up with. You are the language that is difficult to
pronounce. You are the words that are easy to erase. You are the social distance. You are
harmonious society. This performance tries to remind us how we become who we are.
你是誰?你是你吞食的。你是你呼吸的。你是你看見的。你是你閱讀的。你是你聽到
的。你是你遇見的。你是你所誕生的地方。你是伴你成長的人。你是難以發音的語言
。你是輕易就抹去的詞彙。你是社交距離。你是和諧社會。是次表演嘗試提醒我們是如何變成這樣的。

The photobook comprises previous projects including Do You Know Where the Birds Are?(2017-), Untitled(2017-), Too Good to Be True(2021-), and archival materials from Queer Reads Library. It is an attempt to convey as well as deconstruct the tension along the border of the body, the private, and the time under the concept of gender.












Repetition Maximum
最大重複次數
2021
“Repetition maximum” (RM) is a concept in weight training, referring to the most weight you can lift for a defined number of exercise movements. The performance links up the parallel exhibitions “Too Good to Be True” and “Till Love Do Us Part”, which both tackles the relationship between queerness and social environments. During the performance, the audience were invited to walk with the artist from one exhibition venue in Shek Kip Mei to the other in Tai Kok Tsui. Along the walk, the artist turned his artificial body and the metropolitan surroundings into a big canvas, as in such a way he expresses and confronts the power hidden beneath the action of image manipulation.
「最大重複次數」(RM)是一個健身中常用的概念,所指要求做某個動作能夠做到特定次數的情況下,此時舉重員能承受最大的重量是什麼。是次表演將同時進行的展覽「盡善盡美」和「直至愛使我們分離」聯結,也與兩個展覽中所展現的酷兒性(queerness)和社會環境之關係一脈相承。表演過程中,觀眾可跟隨藝術家從位於石硤尾的展覽空間步行至大角咀的展覽空間。途中,藝術家把自己的人造身體和都市空間轉換成一張巨大的畫布,他的塗畫動作既抒發也對抗著隱藏在圖像改造過程中的權力。
