Kiang Malingue is pleased to present “Daydreams”, an exhibition of Su-Mei Tse’s sculptural and photographic works. It is the artist’s second exhibition with the gallery since “Elegy” in 2017, featuring around twenty recent works finely placed in the space of Kiang Malingue’s Sik On building.
For Tse, the formation of daydreams is a personal sharing of the everyday life, and a sensitive operation that is particularly poetic and substantial in relation to the world’s reality today. “It helps me to handle the everyday experience and to deal with suffering in the world by shifting the view and weaving the vulnerable material into my artistic process.” Against overwhelming waves of negative news, threats and crises, daydreaming and the pursuit of poetry could be regarded as a vital practice, empowering an individual by offering alternative perspectives and a sheltered space of one’s own.
Tse composed the exhibition in the spirit of disposing written notes in a rhythmical, circular choreography that traverses the space. This is the process by which recurring motifs, voices, images and words emerge, simulating the ways daydreams take shape as sublime, seemingly intangible visual manifestations, and then dissipate just as quietly before making another return.
