Carving a narrow space into an even smaller section, a sense of cleanness pervades, attuned to the definition of its own periphery. Protection and limitation co-exist here within the context of purification.
This is a workshop, an operating room, a production line. The gleam of metal signals to the process of mass transformation beyond the ordinary objects; their dissected vestige reconfigured and sealed in its own place. Here, the word “organize” connotes a sinister intention, justified by the act of “cleaning”. Face to face with viewers as witnesses, at the end of the path, is a reminder of our returns to things appearing other than as we know them, nevertheless, they remain inconsequential.
Ko Sin Tung was born in 1987. She lives and works in Hong Kong. With a focus on elements related to city life, such as man-made objects, constructions, images with symbolic significance, etc, she uses a wide range of media to reflect the false hopes created by authoritative parties in social and living aspects. Her work has been exhibited at Hong-gah Museum, Taipei(2018); Tai Kwun Contemporary, Hong Kong(2018); Centre for Chinese Contemporary Art, Manchester(2017). She was awarded the Special Jury Prize of Huayu Youth Award(2016); Pure Art Foundation Grant(2013-2014);Project Grant (Emerging Artists Scheme) from the Hong Kong Arts Development Council(2014).
在狭小的空间中划出更狭小的空间，「洁淨」的界线因而得到确立。在淨化的条件下保护与限制共同存在。
这是工场、手术室、生产线。金属展现其锐利的光芒，提示著那些平凡之物所无法逃离的集体改造。它们被分割开来，伴随的所有零散与混乱都滞留原地，予以封锁及勉强地安放。在此「整理」变成了邪恶的字眼，「洁淨」就是难以驳斥的行动理据。众人在隔离的手段下只能成为旁观者，最终面对的是那依旧无足轻重的悄然折返。
