THE SHOPHOUSE is pleased to present Collective Digestion of Dau6 Fu6 Fo2 Naam5 Faan6, the first solo exhibition by Oslo-based Hong Kong artist Yu Shuk Pui Bobby with the gallery. The exhibition features a range of new works including video, soft sculpture, found objects, and photographs, exploring the evolving socio-cultural significance of food within the context of familial labor and the shifting gender roles that accompany it.
Utilizing the visual and cultural framework of Economy rice, the works reflect on the artist’s familial transitions—from the father was the primary economic provider, to a dual-income family structure, and eventually to a post-retirement scenario in which the mother assumes full financial responsibility. This transformation offers a lens through which to explore the reallocation of domestic responsibilities.
Gallery address: 4 Second Lane, Tai Hang
