The artist Manny Yip has been exploring mundane and ordinary things, discovering sensory experiences and meanings. Her new solo exhibition, "Children on a Conveyor," aims to arouse the audience's reflection on the loneliness and ambiguity generated from the daily queuing experience, and compare the relationship between individual growth and social construction.
In this showcase, Yip depicts the "queue" formed by the interaction between individuals and society as a kind of order. In the past few years, she has observed the growth of children and the phenomenon of queuing during the epidemic. She reflects the established social order and explores themes such as individual maturation and social landscape through her new paintings and installations.
Yip scrutinises and questions the habitual queuing behavior of Hong Kong people and hopes to gain insight into the challenges and difficulties faced in the growth process. It will be an in-depth reflection on the most ordinary things in life, inviting the audience to review their connections with the society around them.
