The Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre of the Art Promotion Office is staging the new exhibition "Mirage" from today (September 10), featuring two sets of new large-scale site-specific art installation works created by Hong Kong artist Angela Yuen.
      
     Yuen has a unique emotional connection and artistic perspective on Hong Kong's urban culture. She utilises collected nostalgic found objects to create artworks. With the support of light projection techniques, her works evoke collective memories in the audience and prompt viewers to reflect on the evolving pace of urban society.
            
     The two sets of installation works are on display in the public areas from the third to the fifth floor of the centre. The work "Mirage" is inspired by the musical fountains that were popular in mall public spaces during the 1990s. Yuen skilfully integrates dynamic light and shadow with ready-made objects that embody shared recollections, such as toys from children's meals from fast food restaurants and the crab-claw machines from indoor playgrounds, to create captivating sculptures. Through the rhythmic interplay of light and movement, the work prompts viewers to evoke memories of malls as public spaces and invites deeper reflection on consumer culture and childhood memories.
      
     Another artwork, "City Styling Manual", on display continues Yuen's signature creative approach. Souvenirs depicting iconic landmarks from around the world are arranged on a conveyor belt, interplaying with light and shadow to create a miniature world map.
      
     The exhibition is presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and is organised by the Hong Kong Visual Arts Centre. The exhibition will run from September 10 to February 9 next year at the centre (7A Kennedy Road, Central). Admission is free.
