Description

LIMBO is about histories and memories in different time and space, that consolidate into one housing block. This references the public housing blocks in Hong Kong called the twin towers. While it has been a movie location, a photography hot spot, and even received a visit from Queen Elizabeth… it remains just another ordinary home for everyday life dwellers. Although the work’s title might suggest some seriousness, it can be viewed playfully as the painting is stretched on an irregular canvas, with distorted perspectives. During the process of painting, Wai Yi constantly found it disorientating and sometimes couldn’t bear to look at it anymore. The completed painting changes depending on what angle you view it from.
