Eason Tsang Ka Wai

  • In a practice that engages mainly with photography, video, and lightboxes, Eason Tsang Ka Wai takes inspiration from Hong Kong's urban density and everyday objects. His works, most commonly addressing humans' relationship to technology and urbanism, foreground a distinct perception that subverts common perspectives on daily existence in the city and the individual's powerlessness against imposed social mechanisms. Notions of vulnerability, anxiety, escapism, and coercion are nodal to Tsang Ka Wai's work, which he addresses and reflects on in relation to society's structural elements – urban planning and geographies, new media, architecture – and the complex, specific political and economic reality of Hong Kong. Tsang Ka Wai's work embraces a dark, futuristic, dystopian aesthetic that investigates individuals' conception and perception of time, space and self in the contemporary megalopolis.
