Between short-lived rules and the infinite expanse of nature, we look for the traces of the people that the artist suggests, a subject that lies between division and confrontation. In Two Films, erotic scenes appear amidst an open-air film by the sea, opening the most private of performances to the vastness of nature. Hong Kong erotic films from that time were very popular they were a special window that allowed young people to transcend taboos and see the world.
The depiction of urban subjects in Hong Kong films gave mainland viewers their first taste of modern life. Li Qing was born in the 1980s, and Hong Kong films carry special memories of Hong Kong culture for people of his generation. Feelings of uncertainty are aroused by these alienated visions. Re-examining these explorations from the perspective of the present, their functions, properties, and meanings have shifted in time they seem familiar, but they have become less distinct due to the shift in time and space. They are mainlanders’ typical impressions of cities such as Hong Kong. These characters were taken from everyday Hong Kong streets and Hong Kong’s past. In this personal project in Hong Kong, Li Qing chose the Chinese characters for “Emanating Glory,” “Returning Triumphant,” and “Sweet,” as well as other neon lights as the scenes outside the window. He brings together physical window frames and paintings of scenes outside the window, creating a fictional interaction between the viewer and the scenery.

Neighbor’s Window is an important series in Li Qing’s creative explorations. The artist chose and arranged phrases that the curator had published on social media during 2016, in order to compose an artist-created preface. In the one-year discussion between the curator and the artist about the project, they interacted through both textual and visual means.
Through the interaction and refraction of painting, installation, and video, Li constructs a new system of visual perception. The artist’s complex memories of Hong Kong and superficial, fragmentary impressions become creative materials in his work. Beginning with the artist’s identity as an Other, this project reflects on the dialogue between past and present in Hong Kong. Tang Contemporary Art is proud to announce that “Li Qing Solo Project,” curated by Cui Cancan, will open on December 20 in the Hong Kong space.
