Hong Kong Art Exhibition

Relying on our Lonely Planet guide to Hong Kong, we made our way to a restaurant in the City Hall. It was like a ballroom, complete with chandeliers, but full of families enjoying a Sunday yum-cha. We enjoyed a small sampling of the many delicacies on offer and then headed back downstairs.

On the floor below, we came across an exhibition of installation art, mostly very humourous. The first display we saw was this array of shoes. As we got closer, we realised they were made out of paper - they were offerings for the dead. The artist dryly noted in her statement that it seems that fashion is important even in death!


John particularly liked this 'computer', made from a disparate array of items. It reminds me of the early computers I worked on.
