Join us in Goethe-Gallery's new exhibition opening on June 26, 2026 (Fri) at 6:30 PM! The artists will be present.
We follow fashions, deliberately, in and in,
it seems going back and back into the past as well.
— Leung Ping-kwan, ‘In Fabric Alley’.
In German, “hin und her” is the motion of thought that cannot be concluded. In Chinese, “來來回回” describes something that cannot settle, cannot stop. Two languages arrive at the same place. Time no longer moves forward, it only swings, like a pendulum without a clock face.
We live in a time that has lost its sense of time. This exhibition moves back and forth through the time of Hong Kong, tracing the slow cancellation of time. No beginning, no end. The past, present, and future: coming and going, hin und her.
Fireworks over Victoria Harbour, dragons in the square, group portraits at the gala, races at the racecourse⋯⋯
We swing back and forth across Hong Kong’s different timelines: between the old and the new, traces of thought, and archival images, revisiting the condition of time in this city.
