LAM Hoi Sin 林愷倩
LAM Hoi Sin (b.1986, Hong Kong) received a BA (Visual Communication) from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University in 2008 and participated in the Curatorial Training Programme at Para/Site Art Space, Hong Kong in 2009.
The artist explores the ambiguity in image and attempts to reconfigure the visual components with her eccentric associations. The image and drawing compete against each other as the viewers' imagination wavers between reality and fiction. LAM also addresses our subconscious fixations on sex. Phallic symbols can often be spotted in her drawings. Accordingly, LAM intends to prompt the audience to rethink the aesthetics of the original and whether her drawings are controversial. To LAM, women are constantly being objectified into victims, consumed and manipulated in the mass media.
