We all have and only have one body of flesh, powerful yet fragile. Incidents left us with wounds, stagnated and frozen in time; words are rendered invalid and lost. How shall we embrace our shattered pieces, continue to breathe, and live in this world?
Curated by Gigi Tang, “Breathing Flesh” has invited three emerging artists, together with the curator, to share their response to the seemingly unavoidable pain of life through different artistic mediums including ceramics, lacquer painting and performance art.
Returning to the roots of life, may we all someday arrive at a place of peace, where the light gets in.
This event is a part of the Final Project presentation of Curatorship Incubation Programme organized by HART.
我們都擁有且僅擁有一副肉身，強大又脆弱。事件在我們裏面留下大小不一的傷口，凝結在時光之中；身體一度失重，話語失效，或散落一地。如何擁抱殘缺，繼續呼吸，在這世界裏活下去？
由鄧捷策劃的本次展覽「肉身呼吸」邀來三位以陶藝、漆畫、表演藝術等不同媒介創作的年輕藝術家，連同策展人一起，各自以他們的方式，透過創作，面對和回應生命中似乎難以避免的傷痛。
回歸生命根基，願我們終能到達一個平安的地方，那裏是光之所在。
這次活動為HART舉辦的「策展培育計劃」專題研習之一部分。

About the Artists 藝術家介紹
SIU Ji Chin Jovita 蕭芷芊
What is magical in life is the attempt to understand others and share something. Through creation, perspectives and feelings are unwound. Devising with others connects minds and broadens perspectives. Through performing, thoughts are shared and resonated.
生命的神奇之處在於，嘗試理解他人並分享某些東西。通過創作，觀點和感受得以被梳理。與他人一起創作，腦袋和身體可以連結。通過表演，思想能被分享與共鳴。
TSANG Tsz Wan, Rylee 曾祉紜
TSANG Tsz Wan, Rylee, is an observer, who seeks the relationship between the individual and the external through observation. She discusses the topic of existence, human weakness, connection, and social alienation. 'Keep distant and step back', she said.
曾祉紜是一位觀察者，透過觀察探索自身與外界的關係，她多以存在主義，人性軟弱，以及關係與疏離感為題，但事實上卻是當局者迷。
WONG Ka Yan, Judy 黃嘉欣
Judy Wong Ka Yan focuses on lacquer painting. While lacquer painting will be affected by temperature and humidity, the work is often a combination of expected and unexpected, like the unforeseen of fate. She hopes to look for different variations of lacquer in the process of creation. Meanwhile pondering different propositions such as life and death, philosophy, and fate.
黃嘉欣專注在漆畫的創作。漆畫因為會受到温度、濕度等方面的影響，作品往往是預期和非預期的結合，就像命運中的各種不可預料。她希望能夠在創作的過程中尋找漆性的不同變化。同時表達她對命運，佛教的哲學思想，生死等命題的看法。
