【Flow with Big Mountain: Chuen Lung Visual Research Archive Finale|Artist Partner - Yim Sui Fong】
【川流大山|藝術家介紹 - 嚴瑞芳】
如果一座川龍是一件樂器,你願意蹲下來,敲響一塊石頭,創造一段聲音嗎?
嚴瑞芳,香港藝術家、香港中文大學藝術系助理教授。創作涵蓋社會參與式藝術、聲音與錄像裝置,並以實驗教學探討集體知識生產。作品關注協商、記憶與日常政治。
在《過龍塘》中,她將整個川龍村視為一件可被演奏的樂器。
創作靈感源自傳統竹製敲擊樂器 Kolintang,藝術家以在村中拾得的竹、石與日常物件,透過串連、懸掛與並置,構成一組實驗性聲音裝置。敲擊、墜落、拾回——聲音在身體與物料的互動間自然流現。
這不僅是一件樂器,更是一場關於聆聽的練習。
當我們蹲下、敲擊、拾起,
我們也在學習——
如何以最輕的動作,與這片土地共振。
If a village were an instrument, would you kneel down, strike a stone, and create a fragment of sound?
YIM Sui Fong, Hong Kong artist and Assistant Professor in the Department of Fine Arts at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Her practice spans socially engaged art, sound and video installations, using experimental pedagogy to explore collective knowledge production. Her works address negotiation, memory, and everyday politics.
In Gwo Lung Tong, she approaches the entire village of Chuen Lung as an instrument to be played.
Inspired by the traditional bamboo percussion instrument Kolintang, the artist uses bamboo, stones, and everyday objects collected throughout the village, linking, suspending, and juxtaposing them to form an experimental sound installation. Striking, falling, retrieving—sound emerges through the interaction between body and material.
This is not only an instrument—it is also an exercise in listening.
When we kneel, strike, and pick up…
We are learning too.
How to resonate with a piece of land through the gentlest of gestures?

如果檔案唔係用嚟完成,而係用嚟相遇?
以「川流大山」為線索,《川龍視覺誌之傳承與新篇》將檔案理解為一種關係,而非結論。計劃透過與川龍村民的同行與共在,在相遇、聆聽與參與之中,慢慢形成。
這不是總結,
而是一場仍在流動中的對話。
/
What if an archive is not an ending, but an encounter?
Guided by Flow with Big Mountain, the Chuen Lung Visual Archive understands the archive as a form of relationship. Through working alongside villagers and sharing moments of co presence, the project continues to unfold across the village.
This is not a conclusion, but a dialogue that keeps flowing.

🪴We’ve been working on an interactive display at HK SZ #Urbanism and #Architecture Bi-city Biennale @uabbhk of some of our work and research in the #FlowerMarket in Hong Kong. We welcome you to contribute to our growing collection of memories and imaginaries. Now on display @oilstreetartspace , Warehouse 2.

—
Flower Market Imaginaries brings together materials collected through workshops, discussions and reading groups conducted over the past year as part of the Ecologies of Participation research initiative. This display features a repository of materials representing the collective imaginaries of the Flower Market through sound, text, photos, AI-generated images and 3D printed objects. This archive explores the market through sonic experiences, site-specific stories/memories and speculative images generated by AI creating a multilayered understanding of the market. These creative representations of the market from shared local experiences generate a form of collective knowledge production, which contrasts the grand narratives of property speculation and modernisation that homogenises the culture of the market.

Join this two-part workshop engaging with the "Current Plans" exhibition. This session delves into developing your practice by fostering spatial understanding and critical interpretation skills. We will explore the intersections of art and techno-capitalism through relevant readings and rigorous discussion.
Meet Our Guest Speaker🌟 @lowsui
Yim Sui Fong is a Hong Kong-based artist and Assistant Professor at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Her practice explores the interplay of sound, memory, and pedagogy through participatory listening, performative archiving, and workshop-based processes. Working with field recordings, fictional instruments, and collective encounters, she creates artworks that function as adaptable frameworks for public engagement. Her projects often take the form of living archives or social prototypes, inviting co-creation and response. Through these distributed models, she investigates how minor histories and shared experiences can be activated and reimagined through artistic processes over time and across contexts.
Yim has received the Hong Kong Arts Development Award for Young Artist (Visual Arts) and the WMA Masters Award. She is the co-founder of Rooftop Institute and serves on the board of HASS Lab, both advocating art and artistic thinking as new ways of understanding and valuing society. She is also one of the initiators of Ecologies of Participation, a transdisciplinary research initiative exploring participatory practices across art, cultural studies, and architecture.

Webinar: What Is the Odd — Why ODDKIN?
Date: Sunday, 9 November 2025
Time: 4:00 – 5:30 pm (HKT)
Format: Online
Speakers: Dr. Zimu Zhang & Participating Artists (Chan Hau Chun, Chui Chi Yin, Lam Wing Sze, Yim Sui Fong)
Description:
This online talk invites environmental humanities scholar Dr. Zimu Zhang and participating artists to discuss the ideas behind the exhibition ODDKIN. The conversation explores how Donna Haraway’s notion of “odd kinship” inspires temporary collective art-making, and how creative practices in video installation and collaboration can become acts of coexistence and confrontation. Together, the speakers will reflect on what it means to form kinship through difference, and how artistic practice can imagine new relational ecologies amid uncertain times.
Conducted in Cantonese and Mandarin

About the exhibition
In turbulent times, ODDKIN borrows Donna Haraway’s concept to ask:
How might we learn to form alliances amid ecological and social crises?
How can we practice kinship in conditions that demand coexistence and co-survival?
This kinship is not one of blood, but of estrangement — an alliance with the unfamiliar, the unruly, and the in-between. We take a practice of confrontation as our method: allowing difference to rub, resonate, and generate a temporary yet necessary creative coalition.
The works oscillate between self-confrontation and the eerie.
Multi-channel montages expose fracture and reconstruction, while sound installations summon unseen forces that govern our shared realities.
ODDKIN does not seek resolution — it rehearses collective action, momentary yet vital. It invites us to learn anew: to find connection within fracture, and to respond gently within unease.

Behind the Scenes (1) of the exhibition ODDKIN
During my residency at Delfina Foundation, I developed a new work, Breathing Oneself into a Portrait — now shown in the exhibition ODDKIN at the Goethe-Institut Hong Kong.
The term Oddkin, borrowed from Donna Haraway, speaks of forming kinship through difference. In this exhibition, it refers to a temporary artist collective gathered under the theme Practice of Confrontation — beginning with self-confrontation.
–––
//About the work//
Breathing Oneself into a Portrait traces the moment between breath and image. It asks: what if a portrait is not how we look, but how we breathe? In a city that moves too fast, participants pause for few minutes of conscious breathing before a one-second portrait is taken — a fleeting imprint of presence, vulnerability, and becoming.

ODDKIN asks: how do we form kinship in uneasy times?
Inspired by Donna Haraway’s call to stay with the trouble, I invited three artist friends—CHAN Hau Chun, CHUI Chi Yin, and LAM Wing Sze—to think, read, and create together.
From rooftop to Lion Rock, from reading to encounter, our conversations turned into moving image and sound—exploring the weird and the eerie as ways of sensing, surviving, and staying connected through difference.
A rehearsal for learning together, within unease.

Goethe-institute Hong Kong Zeitgeist series 2025
Two months at Delfina Foundation have been both intense and expansive — from exhibitions at Tate to the Folkestone Triennial, shows and biennials across London, Manchester, Liverpool, and Somerset, to workshops on sound, archives, and art education. Alongside family lunches that sparked new friendships and even led to a road trip, I also met curators, researchers and academics in one-to-one conversations that opened new perspectives. With peers, I was grateful to host self-organised moments — a screening night, a study group, a Global Majority Night, a conversational piece, and a HK gathering.
Thank you to Delfina Foundation for creating such a generous space of exchange — I leave with collaborations, insights, and friendships that will continue to shape my work. 🌍✨
