Faces. Places.
Faces. Places.
3 May - 16 Jun 2024, Stallery Gallery
The show features two Hong Kong native artists, Pater Ho and Rorce Lau, who share interesting perspectives of people and places through their lenses.
The two artists speak their own unique photographic languages with one thing in common - individuals among us telling stories about the world they perceived.
Photography is a playground. Pater amuses himself with union and reconstruction of images he took in Hong Kong and Japan to create endless possibilities that are immortal, and unbounded outcomes of emotions and states of mind. With use of a special artistic operation he punches holes or adds colour dots to his works to explore the divine connection instinctively between people and places, and also among peoples themselves.
Rorce champions the originality of photography with his self-made camera obscura. He develops his aesthetic works from simple and raw images captured through this oldest optical device combined with the newest technology, the Artificial Intelligence.
In the show, he welcomes visitors to experience the world through the camera obscura way, an inverted reality which, to him, is a reflection of human life - a journey of both fun and perplexity.

To say goodbye doesn't mean to forget but to step ahead for new possibilities. We have decided not to linger on but to move on. Hereby, we pack our past, join our community and bravely stand up for our future.
Dark days may still prevail but will ultimately end. Today, we unload our valuables, reboot our passion, free our minds and explore a journey to new days.
In this photography show and bazaar, we present fine art photography works from four local artists namely Kiesly Tsang, Masa, Fung, and Rorce Lau to our community; we share our knowledge and insights in classes and seminars; and we introduce gadgets to photography lovers in a coffee-time bazaar!

Circumstance
I’ll be participating in the group exhibition at Hong Kong Arts Centre. My work “Semewhere Out There” will be displayed at the show and this series of works touch on drastic changes of social lives in Hong Kong after the democratic social movement happened in 2019.
Every Night on 4th June
This image is a composition of 4th June gatherings at Victoria Park, Hong Kong, from 1990 to 2010. Every year this night, except this year it is banned by the authority, thousands and thousands of people gathered to memorize Chinese students and citizens who were sacrificed on that specific night, for fighting freedom and democracy. From 2019 onwards, there was a new meaning for the event, a symbol of fighting totalitarian rule in Hong Kong.

How it was made
I used a lot of Photoshop to complete my work. Here it shows how I stack simple images and turn them into somethin else:
