PRÉDÉDEE is pleased to announce Not Waving but Drowning, a solo exhibition by WU Lok Hang. The presentation is on view from Saturday, 18 January to 7 February 2025.
Taking the subject of water and its fluidity as a starting point, WU seeks to reframe the conventional mode of exhibition in relation to time and space by adopting a changing format. Spanning from photography to video installation, the works are not to be seen as a whole but rather will be interspersed and alternately replaced, inviting visitors to return over the span of three weeks and thereby opening up the potentials of the space as a transitional site for continuous (ex)change.
The architectural form of the art space is deliberately exploited. For WU, the striking feature of a display window is not meant to be perceived solely as a static entity, instead it is a reciprocal and relational structure that is subject to constant change — its configuration a perpetual interaction between inside and outside, yet each moves at its own pace. By aligning its modus operandi with the shifting dynamics of water, the evolving, installative setting quietly composes a liminal space that gently manoeuvres through the pulse of time, pausing briefly before making another turn.
