Everything that happened would remain in our memory. Within the moment of your first glance, the moment it fell into your perception. You memorized every affiliated details of the environment, the ambience, the temperature, so much as the atomsphere and texture of the weather. Do you remember the time that you recognized these ambiguous familiarity?
Time is made up of fragmented experiences, which are all fleeting moments that await to be rediscovered.
Time is a puzzle of many instants, instants that disappear in a wink of an eye.
You may associate palm-trees with islands and colonials because of how they are portraited in Wong Kar-wai's "Days of Being Wild", how they have imprinted a deep impression in your mind; or a feeling of deja-vu might arise when you wandee through a dim alley because it reminds you of the dusk at your hometown.
In The Unitary Moment, her first solo exhibition in Hong Kong, Ho is presenting a series of scenarios, which awake your long-forgotten memories, or obscure you from a familiar circumstance, by means of images, texts and mixed-media works. By deconstructing and re-contextualizing fragments of daily sceneries, the exhibition acts as a space for viewers to pause, step back and reflect on their subjective consciousness, leading them to discover a space that is beyond realistic existence.
