Flowers Gallery is pleased to announce Self, a solo exhibition by Shen Wei in Hong Kong. The exhibition brings together selected works from several series from 2009 to the present day, incorporating photography and video work. Shen Wei’s diverse body of work explores notions of identity, memory and sexuality.

On view will be photographs from his latest series Broken Sleeve, which was inspired by a legendary story of an ancient Chinese emperor whose lover fell asleep on his sleeve. Rather than wake him, the emperor cut off his own sleeve. The series is more than a love story; it explores how power and submission, harmony and danger coexist in the same space; how myth, magic and romance become intertwined together in the real world.

Gallery address: 49 Tung Street, Sheung Wan
