“Place" not only refers to geographic regions but also represents the spaces we tread upon in our daily lives. Human life is always intertwined with the relationship with place as we seek to define ourselves through different people, events, things, and environments. Unconsciously, "I" and "Place" shape and transform each other, giving rise to a series of customs and conventions that construct the unique culture of a place, perhaps even becoming an unspoken history.
This exhibition takes you on a journey into a world that is both illusory and real, from the perspective of culture and nature. Through the various traces and clues within the artworks, it guides you to explore the imagination and relationship between individuals and our surrounding environments so that we can weave a network of connections between people, space, and geography together. It tells the stories of "I" speaking about "Place" and "Place" narrating the tale of “Us.”
「地」不僅僅指地域，它也代表著我們日常所踏觸的空間。人的生活總是與地密不可分，「我」們會從不同的人、事、物和環境中探尋自己的定義。不知不覺中，「我」和「地」相互塑造和改變，衍生成一系列的約定俗成，進而構建出該地獨有的文化，甚或成為心照不宣的歷史。
展覽以文化和自然的角度帶你進入一個既虛幻又真實的世界，透過作品中的各種蛛絲馬跡，帶領你探索個人與所處環境之間的想像和關係，共同編織出關於人與空間、地緣的連結網。以「我」去講「地」，以「地」去講述「我哋」的故事。
Wenda Yiu graduated from BA in Fine Art at RMIT University( co-presented with Hong Kong Art School), major in painting. Most of her artistic practice combines the historical and contemporary approach. By blurring the outline of the history, she tries to redefine the meaning of our culture. Wenda borrows motifs drawn from various materials and art forms to portray Hong Kong's alternative side , such as maps and illustrations. She attempts to reconnect people with Hong Kong's culture, history, nature and land through her artworks.
Wenda was awarded ‘Outstanding Artwork (Painting) ‘by Hong Kong Art School in2017. She was selected as one of the finalists in ‘WMA Open Photo Contest Exhibition - Opportunity!’ , and received the Reaching Out Award from the Hong Kong Education Bureau in 2019. Wenda received an award from C&G Artpartment in 2020 and cooperated with organisation to promote community art after graduation. Wenda showed her works at Art Basel, Fine Art Ink Asia and held a number of exhibitions in Hong Kong.
