Sheung Yiu: Everything is a Projection | 3D Printing | WMA Space
For Sheung Yiu’s solo exhibition at WMA Space in Hong Kong, MetaObjects helped to 3D print objects normally found on a desk including computers, mouse, stationary etc. The artwork was part of the exhibition Everything is a Projection which explores the theme of “home”.
Born in Hong Kong and currently based in Finland, Yiu explores sensory memories of home through his photographic and digital imaging practice. Over the past year, Yiu has digitised 81 objects on his table, as a starting point to reconstruct his home. But can memories of home truly be replicated? The sterile spaces and pristine objects created by digital technology strip away the erosion of bacteria, the lingering scents, and even the traces of the passage of time, making it difficult to capture the various memories associated with “home”. A series of new works presents Yiu’s questioning of replication technology, as well as one’s impulse and longing to find, recreate, or replicate a “home”. The exhibition was on from 25 Jan - 31 Mar 2024.
