Square Street Gallery is pleased to present “8 Minutes from the Sun”, a solo exhibition by Hong Kong photographer Stephanie Teng curated by Francesca Marcaccio Hitzeman.

The exhibition brings together selected works created between 2019 to the present day, incorporating photography with installation. In “8 minutes from the Sun” the artist captures her encounters with nature creating resonance in stillness and motion, balance and counterbalance, and finding an equilibrium between different states of being.
Stephanie Teng is a photographer born and raised in Hong Kong. She received her B.A. in Psychology with a minor in Fine Arts from Scripps College, California. Her work is shaped by her fascination with the human condition—she sees photography as a metaphor for life, an infinite cycle of attempts at self exploration. By capturing the subconscious vulnerabilities of the psyche and fleeting moments lost to the effluence of life, her creative approach carries a sensitivity to the many instances we may have missed. Often paired with original poetry, there is an underlying intent of empowerment and therapy in her work.
