Arts Practice Experiment 2025-26 Five Artists at Work: How Artists Think, Month by Month (2025-26) This page presents an ongoing, month-by-month experiment in arts practice involving five artists and arts practitioners. Each cycle begins with a shared theme, used as a framework for inquiry rather than a fixed brief. Through observation, interpretation, reflection, and association, each artist responds in their own language—image, movement, sound, or thought. The works gathered here are traces of these explorations, revealing an unfolding practice shaped by different disciplines, sensibilities, and modes of attention. Participating artists: Dick Lai (visual artist), Cally Yip (dance artist), Jess Kong (visual artist), Andrew Fong (art administrator), and Priscila Chu (composer). 本頁記錄一項持續進行、以月份為單位展開的藝術實踐實驗,匯集五位藝術家與藝術工作者。每一個週期皆由一個共同主題作為起點,但此主題並非固定的創作指令,而是一個用以展開探究的框架。透過觀察、詮釋、反思與聯想的過程,每位參與者以其自身的創作語言——影像、身體/動作、聲音或思考——作出回應。 此處所呈現的素材,是這些探索過程的痕跡:片段、命題,以及進行中的創作,顯示藝術實踐如何隨時間逐步展開。這些作品共同呈現出不同學科的思考邏輯、感知方式與注意力模式,同時也突顯「透過創作進行思考」作為一種共享的藝術方法。 參與藝術家: 黎振寧(視覺藝術)葉麗兒(舞蹈藝術)江卓姿(視覺藝術)方鍵恒(藝術行政)朱曉芳(音樂) Shoes - Priscila Chu Nov 2025 Pouring - Dick Lai Dec 2025 Shoes - Dick Lai Nov 2025 Shadow - Priscila Chu March 2026 Shoes - Andrew Fong Nov 2025 Shadow - Dick Lai March 2026 Pouring - Priscila Chu Dec 2025

- Pseudo Food | Priscila Chu
Pseudo Food (2019) Music Theater / Interactive Installation / Animated Video click to watch click to watch Pseudo Food explores the phenomenon of information authenticity and food choice behaviour. The audience experiences sound, spatial design, and food design in a devised theatre setting; moving through three stages with staggered entry, so the experience flows continuously for each participant. Stage One: Audiences receive headphones and encounter an information board mixing truths and hearsay about strawberries. The music and lyrics introduce the theme of making choices amid overwhelming information. Stage Two: Led by an actor, they choose between two menu experiences, Techno Twist or Quaint Delight. Stage Three: A violinist creates a restaurant atmosphere as a drink reveals the truth behind the information. The work sits at the intersection of information overload, sensory experience, and the gap between what we are told and what is true. Pseudo Food is part of the series Pseudo World Concept and Curation: Priscila Chu x Deep Food Food Design: Deep Food Music, Sound and Theatre: Priscila Chu Space Design: Dawn Chan Visual Design: Mandy Lee Vocalists: Lau Pak Hong and Priscila Chu Violin: Eugene Lau 1/12

Precisely Otherwise is a three-movement immersive work made for a specific city each time. The first movement watches how the city accelerates. The second movement sits inside what remains slow, a tradition, a ritual, a form of attention not yet optimized away. The third asks what digital efficiency might do with that slowness: not replace it, not preserve it, but think alongside it. Each edition belongs to its place. The series is currently being proposed to contexts in Japan, Taiwan, and China. Development correspondence is welcome via the Collaborate page.

- Whiskered Pitta | Priscila Chu
Thinking of you/ Whiskered Pitta (2015) Fixed Media click to watch On Sundays, city parks become gathering spaces for domestic helpers—visible for a moment, yet often unseen in society. This collaboration by Priscila Chu and Man-chun asks: who are they, and what stories do they hold? Through conversations, fragments of lived experiences surfaced, often shared with hesitation. Rather than revealing identities, the artists translate these stories into sound and image. Priscila’s composition draws on the whiskered pitta—a rare, elusive bird from the Philippines—as an analogy. Layering bird-like sonic textures with traces of the helpers’ present environments in Hong Kong, the work moves between concealment and expression. Man-chun’s abstract visuals mirror these dual realities of presence and invisibility. Presented as a performance, the work pays tribute to those who sustain everyday life yet remain overlooked—inviting audiences to listen more closely to what is heard, and what remains just beyond reach.

Landscape (2022) Fixed Media The Rhythm of Undercurrent Fiona Wong Kowloon Mountain Ranges Wong Chun Hei Opening my heart Lam Tung Pang The Rhythm of Undercurrent Fiona Wong 1/6 click to listen DEVELOPED BY DUMASTAR Six fixed-media compositions, each a creative response to a visual artwork in the exhibition — designed to be heard while standing before the piece that inspired it. Working from the artists' research materials, process documentation, and finished works, Priscila composed responses that move between different entry points — paint style and humour in Pandora, layered colour and image-building in Glaze, material and method in Current, brushstroke and atmosphere in Cumulus, form and physical material in Aglow, and concept and content in 2022. The result is a sonic exhibition running alongside the visual one — six ways of listening to Hong Kong landscape. Pandora is a response to Joey Leung's Victoria Is in a Bad Mood Glaze is a response to Wong Chun Hei's Kowloon Mountain Ranges Current is a response to Fiona Wong's The Rhythm of Undercurrent Cumulus is a response to Koon Wai Bong's From Here to Timbuktu Aglow is a response to Ho Yuen Long's All Beings of Sprouts 2022 is a response to Lam Tung Pang's Opening my heart (This excerpt is a remixed version) Exhibition curated by Vivian Ting Music by Priscila Chu Presented by Hong Kong Arts Centre as part of Here and There: Re-imagining Hong Kong Landscapes, Hong Kong, 2022.
