The Catalyst, No. 2 Po Yan St, G/F, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong; Wednesday to Sunday, 12:30 to 18:30
Curated by Sam I-shan

Under One Moon is a site-specific, interdisciplinary exhibition of moving images, sound, light, photographs and text. The works are inspired by Sissi Kaplan’s artist book, 77 Days: An Experience Report, a story of enforced isolation and personal loss that took place during the global pandemic of 2020. Fear of mortal contagion kept people apart as national borders started to close. Having lived abroad for decades, questions of separation and absence became even more acute for the artist. She turned to reverie, invention and performance to make meaning of these new circumstances. These creative acts became a way to practise resilience, and represent individual experience and emotion amidst collective adversity. Now souvenirs of a particular moment in worldwide history, these works are also considerations about what it means to be in the world and to interact with others.
