There is so much more to walking than walking!
— Jan Gehl
Inspired by City of Glass written by Paul Auster, Sara Wong selected artistic and landscape or urban study projects to build a narrative from the perspective of a city walker. Through works of art, literature and researches, visitors are invited to explore freely in the diverse approaches and perspectives of city and urbanism thinking, subsequently into a wider dimension of reflections about city and city living as a modern urban dweller.

During his stay in New York, Lam Tung Pang invited friends and strangers to create a series of paintings and installations with found objects. The works were subsequently exhibited in San Francisco, thus began Lam's ongoing project The Curiosity Box. In the third phase, The Curiosity Box: The Hometown Tourist, Lam moved into a local hotel for five weeks in order to observe his hometown from the perspective of a 'tourist'. In this exhibition, Lam 'writes' the diary as a hometown-tourist in a form of 'imaginary architecture', revisiting his journey.
