> DESCRIPTION

What are TRUTH and REALITY? Do they exist? Can people perceive or find them out? And how?

Generally, those concepts and ideas accepted and believed by the majority would be considered as “Truth” or “Reality”, but is it really the case or they are just relatively “true” and “real”? We can say that the so-called “Truth” and “Reality” are subjective, temporal and regional.

Hong Kong-based artist Tsang’s text-based works were recently on exhibit at KIASMA Museum of Contemporary Art in Helsinki, Finland. KIASMA installation:

“Combining the foul language (text) with the floral pattern (image) and arranging the text in the form of flowers and plants, which are swirling and running throughout the space, creates different layers of interpretation in which image is the embellishment, the surface while text (foul language) and the emotions attached are the latent and the fundamental. At first glace, the works appear to be mere graphic drawings, yet on closer inspection, the lines of the piece are actually carefully drawn words and phrases, giving the prints an entirely new dimension.”
