Hong Kong Pavilion, Venice, 2024
Trevor Yeung: Courtyard of Attachments, Hong Kong in Venice draws from references that include Yeung's family seafood restaurant, pet shops, feng shui arrangements, and his childhood pet fish companions. Using fishless aquariums as metaphors, Yeung places longing, desire, and power on display to contemplate on the systems that structure our lives. The exhibition invites us to consider the emotional disconnect and power dynamics that characterise society today.
