Sparkle! Room for a Book
Project Curator : Tang Siu-wa
Authors : Hon Lai-chu, Dorothy Tse, Cally Yu, Him Lo and Ho Sin-tung
Inspired by the "one book, one space", the gallery of Oi! will become a carrier of five tailor-made books, all sharing the main theme of "family", while exploring the concepts of root, bloodline, and mobility from different perspectives. The content of each book will be presented through the exhibition space with magnificent visual art. The exhibition consists of five consecutive sessions, presenting one book at a time using artistic visualisation and interdisciplinary approach, liberating readers from a traditional reading medium. The purpose is to draw visitors' full attention on a single book and allure visitors to enjoy an unprecedented and delightful viewing experience.
