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.
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.
Drawing Fortune Lots
There are paid small activities in the
exhibition, where visitors can draw a "small
fortunes" according to the instructions to tell
fortunes or write down their personal goals.
