About the Exhibition

Wailok, Janice Southpolep and South Ho explore the uncontrollability under manifested conditions and coincidences in the orderly everyday life in their works. In the process of creation, they examine the powerfulness and powerlessness of human. And associating with their life experiences, the process turns out to be therapeutic to them.Our life is full of fortuities. We call the accidental meetings of people and events coincidence. Things that we believe they are decided could be coincidences. Sunset and sunrise – natural phenomena that we expect day after day. From when does the sun accidentally set from the West but the East? And it happens every day? Repeated coincidences become permanence. What things are purely coincident in our daily life or are they only governed by certain laws, cycle and destiny? And what things are under our control as we believe?Wailok photographs images of shadows of tree leaves on different backgrounds. Through controlling the brightness and colour temperature in the process to create effects that human eyes can hardly distinguish. Wailok examines our sensitivity towards our surrounding and our cognitive ability. Since May 2009, Janice Southpolep has been shooting random imageries appeared in her daily life. Fortuitously, the series of photos is a reflection of her mental state. The accidental encountering of things seems planned; photographing has become her self-healing therapy. On photographs, South Ho draws narrow lines and tiny grids with pens of different colours to fill up the background. Because of the disharmony of the colouring materials, the brushstrokes become uneven, and colours merge and diffuse. The outcome becomes unpredictable. Ho experiments and experiences the unruliness even when things are under his control. The repeated experiment is a training for him.

張偉樂、張頌庭和何兆南透過作品探討在人類操控的環境中，一些不能控制的事情和結果，以及規律生活中事情的巧合。在創作的過程中，他們反覆思索人的力量與無力感，加上他們各自的經歷，探討和思考的過程變成對自己的治療。我們的日常生活裡充滿著偶然，人與事之間的相遇便是巧合。我們認為是冥冥中的事情，也可能只是巧合。日落和日出 ― 最恆常不過的自然現象。從何時起太陽巧合地從西方落下，而非東方？而且日復日？巧合不斷的重複，成為恆常。而我們的生活中，有多少事情是純粹的偶然，還是我們逃不過既有的定律、循環和命運？又有多少事情是如我們所想般可以控制？張偉樂拍攝了在不同背景上的樹葉倒影，在相片製作過程間，透過控制光的明暗與色溫，營造人類肉眼不能看出的視覺，探索人們對周邊事物的敏感度和認知能力。自2009年，張頌庭無間斷地隨意的拍下在生活中出現的瑣碎事。一系列隨心的照片卻成為了她的心靈寫照，偶然事物的出現變得像是早有安排，拍攝成為自我痊癒的方法。何兆南用顏色筆在現成的照片上，以線條和細格把背景填滿。由於上色物料的不協調，出現筆觸不一，顏色重疊、滲開，效果變得不可預料。何兆南探討和經歷在他控制範圍下不能控制的結果，重複的試驗也成為他個人的鍛鍊。
