Rannie Ip Ka Man: Things Left Unsaid at Negative Space


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

This is a show about an ongoing process of mending and patching.

Things Left Unsaid presents a new body of work made over the past year that contemplates and reflects on the artist’s mother-daughter relationship, exploring the meanings of home, belonging and cultural identity. Rannie has repurposed various objects at her home, from trivial collectibles to chipping walls. The artist hopes to challenge the idea of home as a safe space, unfolding the power dynamics underlined by loss, pain and trauma in a conservative household. Tracing her maternal family history and delving into her personal archive, the artist discovered her growing pains are the extension of her mother’s pain and loss.
