about the exhibition

Posting a Hope

Hong Kong's skyscrapers are famous for their glass facades, which seem to reflect the fragmented memories of people's lives but with a sense of indifference. From ICQ in the 1980s to dating apps in the 1990s, to today's technologically advanced city, the emergence of AI has promoted convenient connections. Multimedia creator Kachi K. has noticed in her work that no matter what era we live in, humans would rather pray to a strangeness object that may not exist, just like people in ancient times prayed to the sky or temples. The exhibition not only displays Kachi K.'s unique temple photos, including her award-winning works, but also her unique installations.

Posting a Hope

Everyone is a photographer in his or her own life. Through smartphones or any media, we can take photos anytime and anywhere to record every moment of our lives. This exhibition aims to inspire visitors to see life through the perspective of electronic installation art and photos. The photos are from the other side of daily life discovered while strolling around Hong Kong. With the advancement of technology, the transformation of cities, and the change of social habits, how temples or a corner of them provide hope for people in this small place of Hong Kong. The exhibition is titled “Posting a Hope", which means to pray to God. It hopes to record narrative images through mobile phones, and use storytelling to tell that when people pray to God, they are not only praying but also telling their lives and expectations. The electronic devices represent the microcosm of our city. It is hoped that visitors will enter each photo story from a comprehensive perspective through the electronic city, as if reading each small story of life.
