Folklore and fantasy can tell us a lot about reality.<\/p>\n

A highlight of Hong Kong\u2019s art week, Hart Haus is hosting two new exhibitions by queer female artists who use escapist themes to offer their grounded reflections on modern society.<\/p>\n

On the third floor exhibition space at 12P Smithfield Road in Kennedy Town, Florence Lee Yuk-ki\u2019s exhibition \u201cDouble Blue: An Altered Fairy Tale of Hong Kong (I)\u201d is divided into \u201csky\u201d and \u201csea\u201d chapters. It is not a traditional happily ever after but a loose narrative of emotions and memories, with an open-ended conclusion.<\/p>\n

The entrance is dominated by Where Sight Sinks into Starlit Eyes<\/em> (2025), a life-size replica of a section of an aircraft cabin with a six-channel, illustrated animation visible through the oval windows.<\/p>\n

From a passenger\u2019s perspective, the Hong Kong skyline gives way to clouds before unfamiliar landscapes emerge. Fragments of the \u201cFlying Chess\u201d board game \u2013 a pre-smartphone staple for the city\u2019s families \u2013 interrupt the journey on occasion, turning a childhood pastime into a metaphor for how arbitrary dice rolls can determine life paths.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
