Daphné Mandel: Hong Kong Time Rift at Gallery Exit
Long awaited big solo show by Daphné Mandel, a French artist who knows Hong Kong from a side that most of us aren’t aware of. Long time abandoned places all over the city, where personal stories got lost and faded away with only some hints left behind. Witnessing, documenting, leaving only footprints, taking only photos, and then reimagining, preserving and giving them new life.
Come and see eerie empty villages, where nature is taking its lands back. Come and look at cabinets of curiosities, where whimsical and eccentric objects sit alongside nostalgic Hong Kong items. Come and observe the real/surreal Hong Kong.
Exhibition period: 30 April—28 May
Gallery address: 3/F, 25 Hing Wo Street, Tin Wan, Aberdeen
