Para Site is pleased to present ‘The Embrace and the Passage’, an unfolding exhibition of all-new commissions by Michele Chu, Florence Lam, Monique Yim, and Bunny Cadag, curated by Jessie Kwok.
The exhibition examines the complex relationship between host and guest as a framework to explore questions of intimacy and hospitality during times of transition and displacement. A host embraces, cares, and remains, while a guest arrives, adapts, and departs. In the physical or metaphorical sense—as a body, home or a place—the host-guest dynamic is marked by codependence, negotiation and sometimes conflict.
Intervening in the tenth-floor space at Para Site, Chu assumes the role of host by designing an immersive installation that envelops and disorients the senses to lead the audience into an interactive stage for happenings. Lam, Yim, and Cadag will present live works, both within and beyond the installation, reimagining the role of the guest. As the exhibition progresses, the artists will take turns occupying or activating various elements from within the installation, presenting performance-based works characterised by choreographic instruction, body movement, improvisation, audience participation and connecting the exhibition space with the outside world.
