Sponsored by Oriental Watch Company, animation director and visual artist Kongkee (a.k.a. KONG Khong-chang) is set to illuminate Tai Kwun with a fantastical psychedelic exhibition, transforming the Block 01 Duplex Studio from 9th December 2023 to 3rd March 2024 with an immersive narrative. Through the integration of animation, sound, and neon art, the exhibition “Kongkee: Warring States Cyberpunk” ponders alternative histories and tells a new tale about Qu Yuan (c. 339 BC to 278 BC), a legendary Chinese poet and statesman who lived 2,000 years ago, and whom the Dragon Boat festival celebrates every year. Qu Yuan in Kongkee’s imagination is resurrected, and subsequently catapulted from the ancient Kingdom of Wu into a dystopian future inspired by ancient Chinese poetry.
