Meet our guest speakers:
🔸In a practice that engages mainly with photography, video, and lightboxes, Eason Tsang Ka Wai (
@easonpage ) takes inspiration from Hong Kong’s urban density and everyday objects. His works, most commonly addressing humans’ relationship to technology and urbanism, foreground a distinct perception that subverts common perspectives on daily existence in the city and the individual’s powerlessness against imposed social mechanisms. Notions of vulnerability, anxiety, escapism, and coercion are nodal to Tsang Ka Wai’s work, which he addresses and reflects on in relation to society’s structural elements – urban planning and geographies, new media, architecture – and the complex, specific political and economic reality of Hong Kong. Tsang Ka Wai’s work embraces a dark, futuristic, dystopian aesthetic that investigates individuals’ conception and perception of time, space and self in the contemporary megalopolis.
🔸Liao Jiaming (
@liao_jiaming_ ) explores the narratives and power dynamics embedded in images through diverse media, including photography, video, installation, and performance. His work often delves into the gap between reconstructed realities and reality, examining themes of gender, the body, and identity. In recent years, his interests and practices have expanded to include the phenomenological use of technology—such as artificial intelligence—in the narratives of queer and non-human experience.
