Spectrosynthesis III exhibition at Tai Kwun Contemporary explores queer mythologies through Asian and diasporic artists

The exhibition Myth Makers – Spectrosynthesis III at Tai Kwun Contemporary in Hong Kong showcases the work of over 60 artists from Asia and its diasporas, delving into queer mythologies. This event, part of the Sunpride Foundation's LGBTQ-themed Spectrosynthesis series, will be open until April 10. Notable pieces include Xiyadie's paper-cuts illustrating same-sex relationships, Andrew Thomas Huang's film Kiss of the Rabbit God (2019), Siren Eun Young Jung's Deferral Theatre (2018), and Ellen Pau's Song of the Goddess (1992). Additional highlights feature Fan Chon Hoo's portraits of Ava Leong, Tseng Kwong Chi's self-portraits, Jiaming Liao's C-prints of Kowloon Park, and Bruno Zhu's critical examination of gender norms. The exhibition has faced backlash for its clichéd imagery and outdated style.
