Kohta, Helsinki, 2019
Awkward Introduction is the result of Yeung's residency in Helsinki during the winter of 2019, and the works in the exhibition articulate ideas he connects to the city. He brought with him an assumption that he says was borne of how people in Helsinki would tend to interact with strangers, and also with each other, in ways designed to minimise intimacy.
