Displaced Nostalgia: Not So Personal
JeeMin Kim & Sheung-King
28 March 2025
WMA Space, Central, Hong Kong
1-3pm (Art Basel Hong Kong VIP) l 4-8pm (General)
The contemporary overflow of information prioritises the immediate over analysis or mediation, leading to a life that lacks reflection and focus. Amidst the dynamic bustle of March’s cultural events, can we carve out a space where audience can breathe, and immerse themselves in contemplation? WMA invites artist Jeemin Kim and novelist Shueng-King Aaron Tang, who has lived in multiple locations, to present a durational performance titled “Displaced Nostalgia: Not So Personal,” interpreting and responding to Anson Mak’s “No Such Person.” The performance invites audiences to lay aside their devices and enter, enter, wander and exit freely in a realm where time and space blur. With a fresh perspective, they can attune themselves to the fluidity of time and ponder the intricate connections between displacement and the notion of home. As Kim rearranges and projects household objects, Tang responds through the act of writing, inviting participants to immerse themselves in a shared experience that is both deeply personal and collectively resonant.
*Over the course of the performance, which lasts for 7 hours, registered audiences are free to enter or leave the space at any point. Click here for more information.
