m<other> 光影廊道

Jeeyun Kim’s solo exhibition m <other> explores identity, belonging, and the experiences of mixed-race families through photographic portraits of mothers and their children. Inspired by her own multicultural background and family, Kim began the project in 2010, examining how race, culture, and personal experiences shape individual identities. Accompanied by interviews, the portraits show that there is no single answer to questions such as “Where are you from?” or “Who are you?” The project emphasizes duality, connection, and the complex ways people negotiate heritage, culture, and self-definition in an increasingly globalized world.

金志倫（Jeeyun Kim）的 m 〈other〉展覽透過母親和子女的攝影肖像，探討身份認同、歸屬感，以及跨族裔家庭的經歷。受自身多元文化背景和家庭經驗啟發，金志倫於2010年開始這個項目，研究種族、文化及個人經歷如何塑造一個人的身份。配合受訪者訪談，這組作品呈現出對「你來自哪裡？」 和「你是誰？」等問題的多元回應。作品強調雙重性、連結，以及人們如何在全球化時代中協商自身的血緣、文化及身份認同。

Identity, Belonging, and Photography: Panel discussion on m<other> 光影廊道

Asia Society invites its members and the general public to a panel discussion on Friday Oct. 9, 6 pm at Miller Theatre in conjunction with the exhibition, m<other> 光影廊道 。Titled "Identity, Belonging, and Photography," the panel of scholars, journalists, and researchers will explore artist Jeeyun Kim's decade-long photography project m<other>, on mothers and their mixed-race children. By bringing together experts from intersecting disciplines, the discussion will examine mother-child bonds within interracial families as well as society at large, through the lenses of race, culture, anthropology and art history.

座談會以「身份、歸屬感與攝影」（Identity, Belonging, and Photography）為主題，多位學者、傳媒工作者及研究人員將共同探討藝術家 Jeeyun Kim 歷時十年完成的攝影計劃 m〈other〉。該計劃聚焦母親與其混血子女的故事與經歷。透過匯聚不同領域的專家，是次討論將從種族、文化、人類學及藝術史等不同角度，探討跨種族家庭中的母親與子女關係，以及相關議題在更廣泛社會層面的意義。

[Exhibition] Unaffordable Nostalgia 幾堪回首

📅 Date: 20 Aug ~ 7 Nov 2026

🕙 Tue - Sat : 10:00 - 18:00 (Closes on Mondays, Sundays, and Public Holidays)

📍 Venue: Korean Cultural Center (6–7/F, Block B, PMQ, 35 Aberdeen Street, Central)

How does one afford to remember something that no longer exists?

Bringing together three artists/collectives and two curators from South Korea and Hong Kong, this exhibition examines urban development, memory,

and post-capitalism across both cities. Their research uncovers a hidden stratum beneath current urban development — where memory functions as a currency that accelerates the surface above it.

🎨 Artists: Ubac Studio (KR), Jang Gayoun (KR), Foreseen Agency (HK)

🖋️ Curators: Kang Min-hyung (KR), Wong Ka Ying KY (HK)

🏛️ Organised by Korean Cultural Center in Hong Kong

🏛️ Supported by Hong Kong Arts Development Council

🕙 開放時間： 逢星期二至六，上午10時至下午6時（星期一、日及公眾假期休息）

我們如何承擔記住那些早已消逝之物的代價？

匯聚三組來自韓國及香港的藝術家/團體與兩位策展人 🇰🇷🇭🇰，本展覽探討兩地城市中的都市發展、記憶與後資本主義，

藉研究探析潛藏在當代城市發展的表象之下被忽略的記憶結構。記憶成為了流通的資本貨幣，持續推動其上方的城市景觀加速變動、空間生產與價值累積。

Boyoung Jeong solo exhibition  “歸樸 : The 0 Degree of Looking” @ THE HARTZ PROJECT

THE HARTZ PROJECT presents “歸樸 : The 0 Degree of Looking”, a solo exhibition by Korean artist Boyoung Jeong, until 31 October 2026.

The world does not stop spinning, but here, it holds its breath. The exhibition introduces a quietude that realigns the gallery into a living architecture of stillness, filtering out the noise of modern acceleration to reveal the zero degree of looking. Borrowing from Roland Barthes’ concept of neutrality, it proposes a gaze stripped of narrative weight, cultural noise, and emotional projection. In this space, looking ceases to be a passive consumption of images and becomes a pure, unmediated awareness of presence.

THE HARTZ PROJECT 呈獻韓國藝術家鄭寶英（Boyoung Jeong）個展《歸樸：The 0 Degree of Looking》，展覽將持續至 10月 31日。

在世界加速運轉的當下，本次展覽則通過引入一份寧靜來過濾掉現代生活的喧囂，呈現出一種純粹的「零度觀看」（The 0 Degree of Looking）。這一理念借用 Roland Barthes 關於「中性」（neutrality）的思考，主張摒棄過度的敘事重負、文化干擾與主觀情緒投射。觀看不再只是盲目地接收畫面資訊，而是讓人純粹地去感受作品與空間本身的存在。

Venue: Unit 01, 23/F, M Place, 54 Wong Chuk Hang Road, Wong Chuk Hang, Hong Kong

Date: September 19 – October 31, 2026
