Control and Nature in Motion: Kinetic Art Installations

Why We Recommend it

Tse Chun-sing’s Foolproof planting at HART Haus in Kennedy Town presents a unique blend of kinetic works and video installations, offering a reflective journey into the artist’s personal struggles with control and change.

Description

In Foolproof planting, Tse Chun-sing crafts an artificial garden where virtual images and imaginary plants converge. This exhibition is rooted in the artist’s past experiences with planting, which often ended in disappointment despite his efforts. By creating a fully-controlled environment, Tse examines the tension between his desire for control and the uncontrollable aspects of life.

The exhibition features a captivating display of Epiphyllum oxypetalum blossoming in a repetitive cycle, transforming the ephemeral nature of flowering into a sustained experience. This man-made paradise serves as a backdrop for Tse’s introspection on the human quest for control and the acceptance of change.
