gdm Hong Kong is pleased to present ”TSANG Kin-Wah: T REE O GO D EVIL,“ the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. ”T REE O GO D EVIL“ is an immersive experience that probes at the fragile core of morality.
The title of the exhibition, “T REE O GO D EVIL,” invokes the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, the story of Adam and Eve's premature consumption of the fruit from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil represents a pivotal moment of moral awakening. By acquiring this forbidden knowledge, they ushered in an awareness of the duality of good and evil, a concept that would come to be seen as the root of sin. The gallery space is transformed to imitate the Garden of Eden, the site of Golgotha, and the scene depicted in Francisco Goya's haunting “Disasters of War” print series, Grande hazaña! Con muertos! (A Heroic Feat! With Dead Men!).
Through rich spatial and visual elements, ”T REE O GO D EVIL“ explores moral ambiguity, human brutality, and the instability of ideas and values.
