TSANG Kin-Wah: T REE O GO D EVIL
WHO
Tsang Kin-Wah
WHAT
The exhibition by the local Hong Kong artist is a site-specific installation, featuring a central column and ceiling adorned with text that mimics a tree, while a sloped platform supports screens displaying black-and-white footage of human brutality. The exhibition explores the complex tapestry of evil intertwining with the notions of the Tree of Knowledge, within the context of diverse religious traditions.
WHY
These brutalities serve as visceral reminders of humanity’s darkest impulses while the notorious book burnings of the regimes such as Nazi, highlight the extreme measures taken to suppress dissent and control knowledge. The exhibition evokes the Garden of Eden and the site of Golgotha, inviting contemplation on the brutality inherent in both divine and human actions.
