Hoi-Ki Leung Solo Exhibition "While the Light Is Still Passing Through"
Cassie Leung
FEB 7 - FEB 22, 2026
“Light does not settle; it continues to pass through.”
This exhibition is an attempt to reconsider the way Hoi-Ki Leung engages with photographic “development,” not as a means of fixing images or memories, but as a process that is repeatedly activated and continually transformed. Light that once seemed fixed within the photograph is released once again into a fluid state, and “light” and “shadow” are no longer confined to the interior of the image. Through material translation and spatial “development,” they continue to shift and evolve. Here, development is not understood as a finished, fixed, or verifiable result, but rather as a fluid and unstable process—one that remains open to reactivation.
Taking her artist-in-residence experience in Yokohama as a point of departure, Leung layers her own history of movement across borders and cultures, continuing her exploration of images and memory both during the journey and beyond it. Through techniques such as printmaking and material transformation, she introduces displacements within images, pointing toward states that remain unfixed—situated between movement and settlement. Memory, too, is placed in an indeterminate, intermediary position, where various forms of ma—including transition and stagnation—come into being. Through the works she creates and the methods she employs, reflection is prompted on the temporality and spatiality of images, as well as on the conditions under which memory is formed.
