Tap Chan's Wormhole Metaphors Explore Migration and Home at Mou Projects
From March 22 to May 3, 2025, Mou Projects will showcase nine new pieces by Hong Kong artist Tap Chan in the exhibition titled 'Fabric of Belonging.' This collection delves into wormholes as symbols of escape and connection. A highlight of the show is 'Their Sun: Our Sun' (2024), which includes six gold-toned sculptures resembling wormhole forms. Another featured piece, 'Turbulence Field' (2025), illustrates a lightbulb partially engulfed by bamboo charcoal. Additionally, 'Liquid Memory' (2025) presents a pseudo-fountain installation that alludes to water cycles, while 'Where there is Honey, there is Home' (2025) layers tinted-glass sheets atop beeswax blocks. The exhibition connects wormhole themes to Hong Kong's environment, contemplating belonging and transformation through minimalist design.
