I visited an exhibition today (Part II)


Kum Chi Keung (born 1965, Hongkong)
Transforming common objects into artworks, Kum Chi Keung articulates the dynamics of urban lifestyle. The artist continues the traditional practice of birdcage-making and expands the creative possibilities of the common birdcage by varying its size, design, use of material and placement. He uses them as a metaphor for how technology has impacted nature. 

The installations match perfectly with the museum's architecture

 "Gene-Starfruit", 2011 - made of Bamboo

 "Labor", 2013 - Bamboo with figurines
3,10 m high!

 "Propaganda of Reddish-Gene", 2012 - Bamboo with figurines and feathers
 The artist reflects on the contradictions of Hong Kong people and their daily lives through the little figures flying inside the apple-shaped cage. 

 I took a photo of the shadow of the "Floating cloud", 2012
Bamboo with figurines
 this is my favourite.

"Sweet", 2012 - Bamboo with peaches
75 x 48 x 48 cm
Instead of birds, bleached and shrunken fruits are placed inside the birdcages
 to represent our changing attitudes to the food we are consuming.
