1967 and all that: Something There and Never There



Why We Recommend it
Something There and Never There is the solo exhibition of Leung Chi Wo, centred around the tumultuous year of 1967 in Hong Kong.
Description
Linking his own biography to the history of the city, Leung constructs parallel worlds that connect vastly different events, characters and objects together.
Civilian riots and vintage Volkswagen cars, student protests and Charlie Chaplin’s films, political propaganda and songs by The Beatles: they all crossed paths by coincidence without our knowledge or entering into official history.
By using diverse media including photography, video, and installations comprising of found images, music and objects from 1967, Leung performs a deep engagement with a subjective history through archival research, conceptual intervention and poetic re-imagination.
