Ng\u2019s work encourages viewers to engage with the\u00a0hidden facets of their communities. One of his\u00a0exhibiting pieces, Laundry Nocturne, was inspired by the ubiquitous sight of laundry hung out to dry\u00a0in Venice \u2013 overlapping with his memories from\u00a0Hong Kong, of laundry hanging from bamboo\u00a0poles fluttering in the wind.<\/p>\n<p>The installed piece is accompanied by sounds\u00a0recorded in Hong Kong streaming out from a\u00a0radio.<\/p>\n<p>Ng said: \u201cThis exhibition is a tribute to the\u00a0things that are often overlooked, as well as the\u00a0unexpected moments we encounter in our surroundings.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/2323.jpg\" alt=\"Angel Hui collaborated with local traditional blacksmiths to craft I Would Like to Open a Window for You, a multimedia installation.\" title=\"Angel Hui collaborated with local traditional blacksmiths to craft I Would Like to Open a Window for You, a multimedia installation.\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Angel Hui collaborated with local traditional blacksmiths to craft I Would Like to Open a Window for You, a multimedia installation.<\/p>\n<p>Those visiting the exhibit would also come\u00a0across an iron window crafted in collaboration\u00a0with local traditional blacksmiths \u2013 a piece by Hui\u00a0titled I Would Like to Open a Window for You, which\u00a0pays homage to Hong Kong\u2019s craftsmanship.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hui\u2019s creative philosophy revolves around\u00a0everyday objects such as faded window frames\u00a0and plastic bags, which constitute the urban landscapes\u00a0in which we live.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\ud835\uddd7\ud835\uddfc\ud835\ude04\ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddf9\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddf1 \ud835\udde7\ud835\uddf5\ud835\uddf2 \ud835\udde6\ud835\ude01\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddf1\ud835\uddee\ud835\uddff\ud835\uddf1 \ud835\uddd4\ud835\uddfd\ud835\uddfd \u2193<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestandard.com.hk\/appdownload\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Article_Footer_1200x400px-100_0.jpg\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rushing from morning until night is the norm\u00a0for Hongkongers.
