MOU PROJECTS is pleased to present “Broken heart pieces disco ball,” Florence Yuk-ki Lee's first solo exhibition with the gallery as well as in Hong Kong. Curated by Kobe Ko, the exhibition features a selection of animated videos and prints to probe the process of recalling sweet memories and dreams while persistently searching for the lost ones, permeated with the artist's contemplation on the haunting aftermath of nostalgia and the very fabric of time. Not at the peril of succumbing to the seductive power of glowing memories or the sense of comfort brought by escapism fantasies, Lee's practice de-gravitates the here-and-now and tellingly illustrates contemporary lamentations and desires.
Inspired by a quote the artist encountered online, the exhibition title entails a glamorized view of experienced agony, which treats the pieces of a broken heart as ones that may make up a disco ball. Throughout the hand-drawn, frame-by-frame animated video works, the visual thread of the disco ball conjoins the disconnected fragments of imperfect memories and dreams.
