Kingsley Ng: Listen to the Sound of the Earth Spinning
WHAT
The Hong Kong media artist interprets the history and characteristics of his exhibition sites, creating contemplative, meditative experiences through poetic and minimalist interventions that involve sound, light, image, and kinetic installations. Known for his site-specific projects, his works engage audiences through interactive experiences, inviting them to touch and meditate within the artwork’s space. In his latest exhibition, Ng draws on the textile heritage and new meanings tied to The Mills, where CHAT is housed. He masterfully employs textile materials and tools to provoke reflections on humanity’s relationship with the Earth and its non-human inhabitants.
WHY
The exhibition offers a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in a sensory journey that transcends mere observation. By infusing textile heritage with new narratives, Ng prompts viewers to reconsider their relationship with the environment, emphasising the interconnectedness of all beings. Through a symphony of sounds and visuals, Ng’s art encourages introspection and appreciation for the delicate threads that bind us to the Earth and its inhabitants.
