Connecting two photographic showcases — “To Tibet” at @wurearea and “Between grain, ink, and pages”, a pop-up reading room at @121bookstudio —> a Conversation on The Poetics of Printing: with Wu Chi-long from @photospectrum_hk and alexlau from @thememmac Moderated by Michelle Chan . Join us for a conversation on the creative space of darkroom and risograph printing in photography. This talk brings together two photographic showcases — “To Tibet” at @wurearea and “Between grain, ink, and pages”, a pop-up reading room at @121bookstudio — to explore printing as more than a technical process. Through darkroom and risograph methods, Wu Chi-Long from Photospectrum and alex from the memory machine will discuss how image-making, colour, paper, layering, and chance shape the final work. Moderated by Michelle Chan, founder of 1:1 studio, the conversation will also consider how printing influences the form and reading of photographs in exhibitions, photobooks, and zines, while opening up questions around materiality, control, and creative freedom. 印刷的詩意空間 誠邀你參與一場有關影像再現的對談，分別從黑房沖製與孔版油印兩個技術切入。本次座談將連結兩個展示計劃——@wurearea 的 《To Tibet》，以及 @121bookstudio 的《探尋顆粒、油墨與紙頁的軌跡》臨時閱讀室——一起探索印刷不只是把影像轉化為實體的過程，更是一種創作與感知的延伸。來自 @photospectrum_hk 的鄔子塱 @misshaped_grain 及 the memory machine 的劉奕東 @thememmac ，將分享影像製作、色彩、紙張、層次與偶然的經驗，如何慢慢形成作品的最終面貌。由 1:1 工作室主理人陳韻芝 ＠little.rice 主持，對談亦會延伸至印刷如何影響攝影作品在展覽、攝影書與小誌中的呈現與閱讀方式，並進一步思考物質性、控制及創作自由。 日期 Date：11.04.2026 (Sat) 時間 Time：16:00-18:00 語言 Language: Chinese 中文 預約 Registration Link：https://forms.gle/tkpEmRG4yAebgVPJ6

Between grain, ink, and pages a pop-up reading room on risograph photobooks co-curated by alexlau (@thememmac ) and Michelle Chan (@little.rice ) Every photobook is an act of layering. In risograph printing, an image emerges through a vertical stacking of ink—an accumulation of distinct tonal passes. From the logic of colour separation to the physical order of the press, each decision reshapes the visual narrative. This pop-up reading room explores the “layered” philosophy of book-making. We invite you to deconstruct the assembled risograph photobooks and discover how the organic printing grains and the unique character of the duplicator elevate the art of visual storytelling. 探尋顆粒、油墨與紙頁的軌跡 一場以「孔版油印」為焦點的臨時閱讀室 共同策展人：劉奕東與陳韻芝 每本攝影書都是一種層疊的行動。在孔版油印（risograph）世界，影像經由油墨垂直堆疊而顯影；從分色邏輯到油墨印刷次序，每個決策都在重塑敘事。這次臨時閱覽室旨在探索孔版油印攝影書的「層疊」思考，誠邀你發掘顆粒質感如何構築視覺敘事的厚度。 閱讀室詳情 Reading Room details: 日期 Date：10.04.2026 - 19.04.2026 時間 Time：Friday to Monday 13:00 - 19:00 地點 Venue：1:1 studio, Inside WURE AREA, Unit 707, 7/F, Block B Po Lung Centre 11 Wang Chiu Road Kowloon Bay 九龍灣宏照道11號寶隆中心B座7樓707室 WURE AREA內 1:1 studio *DM @121bookstudio to visit on Tuesdays to Thursdays; 星期二至四到訪請先聯絡 @121bookstudio 開幕日及分享會 Opening & A Conversation on The Poetics of Printing: with alex from the memory machine and Wu Chi-long from photospectrum 日期 Date：11.04.2026 (Sat) 時間 Time：16:00-18:00 語言 Language: Chinese 中文 預約 Registration Link：https://forms.gle/tkpEmRG4yAebgVPJ6 工作室與展場導賞 Artist Studio Visit + Showcase Guided Tour 日期 Date：19.04.2026 (Sun) 時間 Time：16:30 - 19:00 費用 Fee: $100/pp 人數 Max: 8 people 預約 Registration Link：https://forms.gle/xkvcmoWxHXe74gBy7

Throughout history, women have quietly edited, organised, and narrated family albums — creating intimate “domestic photobooks.” In this 2.5-hour workshop led by artist Michelle Chan (@little.rice ) and photographer Jayne Russell (@jaynerusell ), we will explore photo albums made by mothers, commercial photographers and artists. We will also learn basic sequencing, and transform your own family photos into a 12- or 16-page zine that tells a story about your family. *bring your digital family images + laptop 縱觀歷史，女性一直默默編輯、整理與敘述家庭相冊——創造出親密的「家族攝影書」。 在這場由藝術家陳韻芝及攝影師Jayne 引導的2.5小時的工作坊中，我們將一同探索由母親、職業攝影師與藝術家所創作的相冊。我們也會學習基本的影像編排，並將你帶來的家庭照片，轉化成一本12至16頁的小誌，訴說屬於你家族的故事。 *請攜帶你的數碼家庭照片 + 筆記型電腦 預約 Registration Link：link in bio (https://forms.gle/7BXS6uYhi7fbmMCF7) - * a related programme of the pop-up reading room: The Third Body: Between Her and Her Creation 《第三身體——在她與她的創作之間》 臨時閱讀室相關活動 閱讀室詳情 Reading Room details: 日期 Date：23.01.2026 - 08.02.2026  時間 Time：Friday to Monday 13:00 - 19:00 地點 Venue：1:1 studio, Inside WURE AREA, Unit 707, 7/F, Block B Po Lung Centre 11 Wang Chiu Road Kowloon Bay 九龍灣宏照道11號寶隆中心B座7樓707室 WURE AREA內 1:1 studio  *DM @121bookstudio to visit on Tuesdays to Thursdays; 星期二至四到訪請先聯絡 @121bookstudio visual created by Tracy Cheng (@tumnucy )

I’m not a mother, yet as an artist, a maker, I can somehow relate to the journey of giving birth, to the nurturance of bringing something into being. The vast emotional landscapes of gestation—vulnerability, pain, fear, loneliness, and labour… as well as moments of joy, love, wonder, excitement, and care. There are times I would want to give up, yet I never truly do. For all these are woven into the creative act, the very process of making. Perhaps that, too, is the quiet power of mothering—of being a mother. - The Third Body: Between Her and Her Creation a pop up reading room about remembering her: Mothers in Photobooks The collection gathers works from across the world that centre on mothers as artists, and artists as bookmakers, delving into the realm of the third body — where memories, loss, motherhood, intergenerational relationships, domesticity, and care unfold through the pages they make. 閱讀室詳情 Reading Room details: 日期 Date：23.01.2026 - 08.02.2026  時間 Time：Friday to Monday 13:00 - 19:00 地點 Venue：1:1 studio, Inside WURE AREA, Unit 707, 7/F, Block B Po Lung Centre 11 Wang Chiu Road Kowloon Bay 九龍灣宏照道11號寶隆中心B座7樓707室 WURE AREA內 1:1 studio  *DM @121bookstudio to visit on Tuesdays to Thursdays; 星期二至四到訪請先聯絡 @121bookstudio

Join us for a discussion on the symbolism of the family album in motherhood, focusing on how mothers “edit” family memories through photos, and their changed role in the digital age. We will discuss the mother’s role as the emotional historian, image editor, and silent curator of what becomes the family’s official story and discuss whether their curation becomes performative to present the perfect family. Jayne (@jaynerussell ), the founder of @photobooks_by_women , will be joined by curator, Michelle Chan (@little.rice ), to discuss the birth of this initiative and the process of curating this pop-up reading room. Artist, Iris Sham Sin Hang (@irissham.photo ), will also join to discuss her experience of producing her latest book- ‘Oh My Dear Swallows’,  - “an intimate photobook that weaves together family archives, fragments from my childhood diaries, and photographs spanning more than two decades. At its core lies the profound, often contradictory emotional landscape of motherhood—both received and bestowed—interlaced with the elusive notion of homeland. 歡迎加入我們，一同深入探討家庭相冊在母職中的象徵意義。本次座談聚焦於母親如何透過照片「編輯」家庭記憶，以及她們在數位時代中逐漸轉變的角色。我們將探討母親作為情感歷史學家、影像編輯者與家庭故事「沉默策展人」的多重角色，並反思：在呈現完美家庭形象的過程中，她們的編輯是否也成為一種表演？ 本次對談嘉賓包括： @photobooks_by_women 的創辦人 Jayne，將與策展人陳韻芝對談此倡議的起源，以及策劃本次臨時閱讀室的歷程。 藝術家岑倩衡 — 她將分享其作品《燕詩》的創作經驗。這本親密攝影書交織了家庭檔案、童年日記片段與橫跨二十餘年的影像，核心圍繞著母職中那份深沉且時而矛盾的情感地景——既是接收，也是給予——並與「家鄉」這一縹緲的概念緊密相連。 預約 Registration Link：link in bio (https://forms.gle/J9nW3ebTPZC1xK397) * a related programme of the pop-up reading room: The Third Body: Between Her and Her Creation 《第三身體——在她與她的創作之間》 臨時閱讀室相關活動 閱讀室詳情 Reading Room details: 日期 Date：23.01.2026 - 08.02.2026  時間 Time：Friday to Monday 13:00 - 19:00 地點 Venue：1:1 studio, Inside WURE AREA, Unit 707, 7/F, Block B Po Lung Centre 11 Wang Chiu Road Kowloon Bay 九龍灣宏照道11號寶隆中心B座7樓707室 WURE AREA內 1:1 studio  *DM @121bookstudio to visit on Tuesdays to Thursdays; 星期二至四到訪請先聯絡 @121bookstudio visual created by Tracy Cheng (@tumnucy )

The Third Body: Between Her and Her Creation How does a mother become a mother? How do women — as mothers, or as observers of motherhood and caregiving — negotiate their own positions and perspectives within larger narratives of family and community through acts of photo album-making and book-making? 1:1 studio presents its first pop-up reading room, featuring a curated selection of women authors from @photobooks_by_women . The collection gathers works from across the world that centre on mothers as artists, and artists as bookmakers, delving into the realm of the third body — where memories, loss, motherhood, intergenerational relationships, domesticity, and care unfold through the pages they make. 第三身體——在她與她的創作之間 一位女性如何成為母親？而女性——無論是作為母親，還是作為母職與照護的觀察者——又如何透過製作相冊與攝影書這一行為，在關於家庭與社群的宏大敘事中，協商自身的位置與視角？ 1:1工作室策劃其首個臨時閱讀室，特別呈現從@photobooks_by_women 精選的女性作者作品。本次匯集來自世界各地的創作，聚焦於作為藝術家的母親，以及作為製書者的藝術家，深入探索「第三身體」的領域——在她們親手創造的頁面之間，記憶、失落、母職、代際關係、家庭性與照護的故事徐徐展開。 閱讀室詳情 Reading Room details: 日期 Date：23.01.2026 - 08.02.2026  時間 Time：Friday to Monday 13:00 - 19:00 地點 Venue：1:1 studio, Inside WURE AREA, Unit 707, 7/F, Block B Po Lung Centre 11 Wang Chiu Road Kowloon Bay 九龍灣宏照道11號寶隆中心B座7樓707室 WURE AREA內 1:1 studio  *DM @121bookstudio to visit on Tuesdays to Thursdays; 星期二至四到訪請先聯絡 @121bookstudio   開幕日及分享會  Opening & A Conversation on Collecting, Curating and Practicing 日期 Date：24.01.2026 (Sat) 時間 Time：16:00-18:00 預約 Registration Link：link in bio (https://forms.gle/J9nW3ebTPZC1xK397) 攝影誌工作坊 Crafting Your Own Domestic Photozine 日期 Date：08.02.2026 (Sun) 時間 Time：16:30 - 19:00 預約 Registration Link：link in bio (https://forms.gle/7BXS6uYhi7fbmMCF7)

drifting nimbus is a sculptural artist book by Angelica Ong. “I came up with this structure when I realised the accordion book resembled a folding screen and imagined small wooden frames I could stretch my prints over. Typically when building strainers for paintings, I would construct the frames with 45-degree mitred edges glued and nailed together. This method failed for this work: the surface area was too small to form strong joints, and cutting them by hand with a penknife meant they were prone to slight imperfections that prevented the edges from aligning. I then tried laser-cutting a full frame without joints, but the wood grain caused the top and bottom bars to bend and snap. Each side having to run against the grain meant every bar had to be a separate piece. I then began envisioning something like a tongue-and-groove joint, but lacked the tools and skills to create them at this scale. Instead, I devised a two-layer frame with staggered measurements such that gaps at each joint would be supported by the opposing layer and used only perpendicular cuts. I glued the first layer directly to the prints and stacked the second on top, allowing the paper itself to function as the hinge, like a traditional accordion book.” This artist book is currently showcasing at 1:1 studio.

drifting nimbus photobook exhibition by Angelica Ong (@catchingsunlight_ ) 21-30 Nov 1-7pm 1:1 studio (inside @wurearea ) 22 Nov opening reception 2pm artist talk on bookmaking 3-4:30pm - I still remember the first time I encountered Angelica’s work at the 3rd edition of the Hong Kong Photobook Festival (@hkphotobookfest ) this May. Her handmade photo-artist books captivated me not only through the poignant and ephemeral quality of her images but also through the seamless integration of concept and materiality in her creations. The creative and playful use of materials in her book forms challenges traditional notions of what a photobook can be and inspired me to think more deeply about the medium itself. For this exhibition, she created a new work—a sculptural accordion book framed with very thin wooden panels and images printed on washi paper. The semi-translucent paper embraces light differently, allowing images on both sides to merge and dance under changing illumination, conjuring a fragile, dreamlike passage of time. Here, the book becomes more than pages to turn — it transforms into layers of memory and meaning, inviting the viewer to experience it simultaneously as a whole and in fragments. Beyond this centre piece, she crafted various sculptural “pages” and “spreads” that embody fragility and temporality. These pieces act as components of a deconstructed book, spread across the exhibition space like scattered echoes, inviting contemplation on the essence of the book form.

drifting nimbus  - a photobook exhibition by Angelica Ong Artist: Angelica Ong 王歆惠 (@catchingsunlight_ ) Curator: Michelle Chan 陳韻芝 drifting nimbus「透影」is a sculptural artist book that takes inspiration from the structure of a folding screen, extending across and cutting space, using film-shot images to weave its narrative. Combined with gossamer-thin washi, its translucency effuses fragility, emphasising the delicate qualities of its subject matter—cobwebs, dust, shafts of light; its porosity beckons light to pass through it, allowing images to layer one upon the other and collapse space. Through the book form, Singaporean artist Angelica imbues the images with structural and tactile qualities, inviting audiences to engage with the work’s materiality across shifting light, time, and relational contexts. Unfolding across a set of thin, light wooden frames, each image operates as part of a lexis derived from nature, articulating Angelica’s long-term inquiry into how time’s passing is felt and experienced—physically and spiritually—as well as nature’s minute gestures. 藝術書《drifting nimbus 透影》取法屏風的結構，以雕塑性的延展與切割重塑空間，編織出豐富的影像敘事。微光滲透薄如紗霧的和紙，既流露脆弱，也越加彰顯蜘蛛網、塵埃和光束的細膩特質；和紙的孔隙引光而入，使影像疊映交錯，更將空間推向崩散。新加坡藝術家王歆惠以書為媒介，為影像賦予結構的重量與觸感的回聲，引導觀者在光線、時間及關係變換之間，直接體察作品的物質感。作品於輕盈的木質框架上徐徐攤展，每幅影像皆宛如自然的字句，訴說藝術家對於時間流逝的身心感知與經驗，以及她對自然細微姿態的長期探究。 展覽詳情 Exhibition details: 日期 Date：21 - 30.11.2025  時間 Time：13:00 - 19:00 地點 Venue：1:1 studio, Inside WURE AREA, Unit 707, 7/F, Block B Po Lung Centre 11 Wang Chiu Road Kowloon Bay 九龍灣宏照道11號 寶隆中心B座7樓707室 WURE AREA內 1:1 studio  *DM @catchingsunlight_ to visit before 13:00; 13:00 前請先聯絡 @catchingsunlight_ 開幕日及藝術家分享  Opening Reception: 日期 Date：22.11.2025  時間 Time：14:00 藝術家分享  Artist Talk on Bookmaking: 日期 Date：22.11.2025  時間 Time：15:00 - 16:30 預約 Registration Link：link in bio https://forms.gle/LG8Y4aYuPtHqFBMH6 *Chinese translation of the exhibition text: Ashley Man @aaasm.w
