With HART HAUS as venue and program partner, curated by Shirky Chan, “Time in Perspective” presents a Duo exhibition of two contemporary artists, Boon Lee and Wenda Yiu, who delve into these vanishing narratives, transforming the textures of time into art. As In Western District of Hong Kong Island, where the rhythms of old and new Hong Kong intersect, traditional shops endure as quiet acts of resistance—guardians of memory, labor, and community. Through the engagements with local shopkeepers, the exhibition becomes a conversation between preservation and impermanence, where fleeting moments are given lasting form.
Boon Lee draws inspiration from the paradox of memory—how the distant past often feels more vivid than the present. His artworks from varied materials, including discarded cardboard, a medium embodying both resilience and transience. His pieces reflect the fragile survival of these spaces in a city racing toward erasure.
Wenda Yiu guides viewers through streets alive with memory, where every small shop or tea shop holds stories of community and identity. Her contemporary ink and mixed-media works capture these spaces not as relics but as dynamic entities, pulsating with life.
The exhibition invites audiences to pause at the threshold between past and future, listening closely to the echoes of what has been—and imagining what might yet emerge. Here, endings are not conclusions but possibilities for reinvention.
HART HAUS 作為時次展覽的場地及節目伙伴，由陳瑞琦策展，《視點的時光》 呈現兩位當代藝術家，李本瀅及姚冬穎，對這些消逝敘事的探索，將時間的紋理化為藝術。在港島西，香港新舊節奏交織之處，傳統店鋪以沉默的抵抗姿態延續——它們是記憶、勞動與社區的守護者。透過與街坊店主的對話，展覽成為一場「保存」與「無常」的交流，讓片刻獲得永恆的形狀。
李本瀅的創作靈感源自記憶的悖論——為何遙遠的過去總比當下更鮮明？李氏運用廢棄紙板等物料創作——這種材質既象徵韌性，亦承載無常。他的作品映照這些空間在急速湮滅的城市中，如何脆弱地存續。
姚冬穎帶領觀眾走進記憶鮮活的街道，每間小店或茶舖都藏著社區與身分的故事。她的當代水墨與混合媒介作品不將這些空間視為遺跡，而是躍動的生命體。
展覽邀請觀眾駐足於過去與未來的交界，細聽曾經迴響的餘音—並想像即將誕生的可能。在這裡，終結並非句點，而是生成的開端。
