Mou Projects is pleased to present "Auto Soma," Harrison Pearce's first solo exhibition with the gallery as well as in Hong Kong. Featuring a kinetic installation and a selection of recent paintings, the exhibition spotlights the artist's latest exploration and contemplation on the coextensive and intertwined relationship between machinery and humanity amid the technological entanglement of the present reality. Inspired by the Ancient Greek words "Auto" and "Soma," which respectively translate to "self" and "body," the exhibition title probes a fantastically curious conceptual relationship between the construction of the self, the automated body, and how the two ideas are intertextually reflected in the industrial development of the society. Directly hinting at the discourse of mind–body dualism which lies at the core of the artist's practice, "Auto Soma" set out to unfold an expansive, philosophical reflection on the relationship between the mechanism of cognition and the materiality of the body.

Gallery address: 202, The Factory, 1 Yip Fat St, Wong Chuk Hang
