In this exhibition, Trevor Yeung invites us to reflect on the expectations and social codes that condition the way we relate to one another. Social conventions are a natural product of our desire for order, efficiency, and control. However, our feelings make precise, rational calculation impossible. For Yeung, this emotional complexity not only encompasses human relationships, but also extends to the plants and animals that are part of our ecology in the widest sense. With his profound understanding of botany, horticulture, and aquatic ecosystems, Yeung weaves together deeply personal encounters and astute social observations in intricate sculptures, photographs, and installations. Hong Kong is an enduring reference and source of material for Yeung, but the emotional resonance of his work and his concern with power dynamics are universal in their scope. Yeung explores sentimentality, desire, and relationships of power through the concept of attachment. Here, attachment manifests as feelings of connection with objects as well as a longing for someone special. Yeung’s presentation articulates his intimate experiences and keen observations of the relationships between humans and aquatic systems, drawing from references that include his father’s seafood restaurant, pet shops, feng shui arrangements, and the fish he kept as a child.

The exhibition is organised into four installations. Each features fully operational aquariums, complete with filters and accessories, yet devoid of living fish. The palpable sense of absence that saturates the exhibition conjures the cyclical nature of life and the delicate equilibrium of social ecology, which is always susceptible to disorder.

The site-specific work Pond of Never Enough occupies the courtyard. The work is a fountain made of fish tanks reminiscent of those found in Chinese seafood restaurants. The fishless fountain extracts water from the Grand Canal and filters clean water back into the lagoon, foregrounding the ecosystem that sustains Venice as well as the workings of the city’s tourist economy. Throughout the exhibition period, the fountain is cleaned regularly to draw attention to the labour needed to support these fragile habitats and, by extension, the systems that structure our lives. Several self-sustaining gardens of lotuses are placed throughout the courtyard alongside the fountain in an installation titled Mx. Trying-My-Best. Lotus flowers, which are symbols of purity in Chinese iconography, can blossom amid landfills and muddy water, highlighting the plant’s strength and ability to adapt to difficult conditions as beacons of hope and icons of determination.

The interior of the exhibition space begins with a reception area that is designed to recall the entrances of small businesses in Hong Kong. An installation comprising two aquariums and second-hand furniture, Two Unwanted Lovers blurs the boundaries between decoration, belief, and commerce. Fish tanks and miniature decorations with flowing water are considered auspicious and are common decorative elements in Chinese businesses. Deconstructing cultural symbols is a recurring aspect of Yeung’s practice, manifested in the set of moss- and algae-covered fish tanks as well as Rolling Gold Fountain, a sculpture featuring rotating spheres that resemble citrines, which are rare gemstones thought to bring wealth and fortune.

The installations Gate of Instant Love and Cave of Avoidance (Not Yours) investigate the feelings of gratification and excitement that come with taking home a new pet. Fish in Hong Kong pet shops are often contained in plastic bags suspended from hanging systems on the wall. Nestled snugly under the archway of the exhibition venue, Gate of Instant Love invites visitors into a restrained version of a pet shop display, featuring only a few empty bags and S-hooks. Moving through the gate and on the left side, the photographic work the stealth that doesn’t hurt/the scratch that doesn’t help echoes the inflated plastic bags on the archway. The image illustrates a broken and used plastic bag that once held water and fish, alluding to the consequences that arise when our innermost desires override thoughtful consideration.

Turning to the right side, visitors arrive at the physical and conceptual centre of the exhibition. Little Comfy Tornado contains a miniature tornado whirling inside a small fish tank perched atop a tower of stacked plant stools. It is connected to a professional-grade filtration system through a network of tubing. The juxtaposition of the modest aquarium with the seemingly excessive support mechanism evokes a sense of unease and invites consideration of the bureaucratic heaviness that often undergirds the simplest actions in a social system. Little Comfy Tornado’s framing of absence in an atmosphere of vague menace invites new associations about how easily the desire for care and control can spill over into oppression.

Situated in the last room, Cave of Avoidance (Not Yours) is an immersive installation that recreates the interior of a pet shop, albeit one devoid of living fish. Encased within a darkened room, the installation is illuminated only by the lighting systems of the fish tanks. The details of each tank are precisely composed in layers, encompassing decorative elements, air pumps, and a custom breeding apparatus handmade from Hong Kong terracotta. By omitting the fish from the methodically arranged rows of fish tanks, Yeung leads us to reconsider our motivation for creating artificial ecosystems. A closer examination of these vacant containers reveals that the backs of the tanks are mirrored. We might find ourselves replacing the fish in the tanks, inserting ourselves into a system that defines our control over another species.

Finally, placed discreetly throughout the exhibition space are Night Mushroom in shade (Teak Cabinet) and Night Mushroom Colon (Hong Kong in Venice), small clusters of electric night lamps that emerge from the shadows, waiting for visitors to discover them. The mushrooms inhabit the space freely, independent of the strict sequence of galleries. Their presence seems to ask how an entity with no power of its own can survive outside of a rigidly defined system.

In his landscapes of fishless aquariums, Yeung articulates his fascination with artificiality in nature and urban space. He highlights the nuanced relationship between the fish, their caretaker, and a meticulously controlled aquarium. Whether we find ourselves in the position of the fish, the caretaker, or an inanimate part of the landscape, an attachment inevitably arises. At its heart, this is a yearning to be an irreplaceable, distinctly defined part of something larger than ourselves, an ache to love and be loved.

在這場展覽中,楊沛鏗啟發我們思考人際關係中的預設期望和社交規範,是如何影響我們看待自己與他人的關係。我們一方面渴求秩序、高效、控制,自然而然地形成各種社會慣習;可是我們亦感情用事,令精確、理性的盤算難以實行。楊沛鏗認為,這種複雜的情感,不只關乎我們的人際關係,亦可延伸到我們整個生態系統中的動植物。他運用對植物學、園藝、水生生態系統的深入認識,將切身經歷與敏銳的社會觀察,糅合到精心構思的雕塑、攝影與裝置作品中。香港是楊沛鏗源源不斷的參考與素材來源,但他作品所激發的情感共鳴,以及他對權力關係的關注,可引起普世同感,而非拘於一地。楊沛鏗藉「依附」的觀念探索情感和權力關係。在此,依附體現為與物件的相連之感,以及對某人的渴望。他的創作取源自父親經營的海鮮酒家、水族店、風水擺設,以及童年養幾尾小魚,清晰表達出他對於人類與水生生態之間複雜關係的切身經歷與敏銳觀察。

展覽由四件裝置作品組成,各具運作正常的水族箱,配備濾水器與各式配件,但箱中皆無魚。魚的缺席在展覽中顯而易見,喚起生命生生不息的本質,並令人感受到社會生態的微妙平衡總是易於打破。

佔據庭院的場域特定作品《永不足夠貪婪池》是一座由魚缸組成的噴泉,令人想到海鮮酒家的魚缸。無魚的噴泉從威尼斯大運河抽水,並將過濾乾淨的水排回潟湖,凸顯維持威尼斯的水生生態系統,以及雙年展在這座城市的藝術、旅遊經濟和公共建設中發揮的作用。噴泉在展覽期間將定期清潔,令人留意到要維持這些脆弱生態所需花費的工夫,乃至維繫構成我們生活那些系統所需的心力 。此外,庭院內亦設有數個自給自足的蓮花園,這個裝置作品名叫《盡力先生》。蓮花在中華文化象徵純潔,出淤泥而不染,在惡劣環境中益顯堅強、靈活適應,是希望與決心的標誌。

展覽的室內空間,始於一個接待區,其設計猶如香港小型商舖的店面。裝置作品《水泡情人們》由自網上蒐羅的兩個水族箱和舊家具組成,它令裝飾擺設、信仰和商業之間的分界變得模糊。寓意財源滾滾的魚缸與小型流水盆等擺設,在華人商店內很常見。楊沛鏗屢屢在藝術實踐中拆解文化象徵符號,這一志趣在展出的作品中體現為覆滿苔蘚和水藻的魚缸,以及水轉風水球雕塑《財源滾滾泉》。作品中的風水球是模仿寓意財富與好運的稀有晶石⸺黃晶。

《秒愛之門》和《(不是你的)逃避洞》兩件裝置探討將新寵物帶回家的滿足感和興奮之情。香港水族店所賣的魚,多半是裝在店內牆架上的透明塑膠袋中,而位於展場拱門下的《秒愛之門》,則只陳列幾個無魚的水袋和S形掛鈎,讓人彷彿置身一間簡樸的水族店。穿過拱門左側,可見與這些充氣塑膠袋相互呼應的攝影作品《掩耳盜鈴的卑鄙小人》。此作展現出一個曾裝有水和魚的破舊塑膠袋的模樣,暗示當我們內心慾望凌駕深思熟慮時會導致甚麼後果。

觀眾向右轉,即可進入整個展廳的中心位置,並見到展覽的核心之作《小小安逸龍捲風》:一個小魚缸放在一棟疊起的盆栽木几上,缸中有股旋動的龍捲風。魚缸藉一組管道連接到專業級過濾系統。簡單水缸與顯然過渡複雜的支撐裝置並置,令人倍感突兀,藉此引人思考在一個社會體制中,即使是最簡單的運作,也需龐大官僚體制支持。《小小安逸龍捲風》在隱含威嚇的氣氛中描繪缺席的狀態,引發全新的思考,即渴求關懷與控制慾,如何能搖身一變成為壓迫。

位於展廳最後一間房的《(不是你的)逃避洞》重現水族店內部環境,令人身歷其境⸺只是店中同樣無魚。裝置設於黑暗的房間中,僅以魚缸的燈照明。裝置中每個魚缸由不同層次的細節構成,包括裝飾元素、氣泵,以及特製的繁殖設備,其中一部份由人手以香港赤陶土製成。魚缸排列整齊,當中卻沒有魚,楊沛鏗藉此帶領我們重新思考創造人工生態系統的動機。細看之下,可見空魚缸的背面內壁是鏡面,我們或許會發現自己成為缸中之魚,進入我們為對另一物種施加控制而營造的系統之中。

最後,低調地綴於展場的是《蔭下的晚菇群(柚木櫃)》和《晚菇群(香港在威尼斯)》的小簇夜燈,有如自暗處冒出的菇群,等觀眾去發現。晚菇群隨意佔據不同位置,獨立於展場的參觀路線,似乎代表無力的個體也可在森嚴的體制以外生存。

楊沛鏗在他的無魚水族世界中,表達出對大自然和都市空間人工特質的着迷,凸顯出魚、其照顧者,以及經精心調控的水族箱之間的微妙關係。無論我們把自己視為魚、照顧者,還是景觀中的無生命體,對周遭環境的依附之感總會油然而生。究其重心,這是一份渴求⸺渴求自己是宏大世界中一個無可取代、與眾不同的部分,盼求去愛與被愛。

Trevor Yeung (born 1988, Guangdong) was raised, lives, and works in Hong Kong. In his artistic practice, he excavates the logic of closed systems and the ways in which they create and contain emotions and behaviour. Fascinated by ecology, horticulture, and aquatic ecosystems, Yeung presents carefully staged objects, photographs, animals, and plants in his mixed-media works to address human relationships and the artificiality of nature.

Yeung has participated in numerous international exhibitions, including the Biennale of Sydney (2024); the Singapore Biennale (2022); the Kathmandu Triennale (2022); la Biennale de Lyon (2019); EVA International, Dublin (2018); the Dhaka Art Summit (2018); and the Shanghai Biennale (2015). His work has been exhibited at institutions including Gasworks, London (2023); Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris (2022); Tai Kwun Contemporary, Hong Kong (2022); Jameel Arts Centre, Dubai (2022); PinchukArtCentre, Kyiv (2021); M+, Hong Kong (2021); Power Station of Art, Shanghai (2021); Para Site, Hong Kong (2020); and Stiftung Skulpturenpark Köln (2020). He was shortlisted for the Sigg Prize 2023, the Future Generation Art Prize in 2021, and the BMW Art Journey award in 2015.

Yeung’s work is held in the collections of Centre Pompidou, Paris; Stiftung Skulpturenpark Köln; Musée d'Art Moderne de Paris; Kadist Art Foundation, Paris and San Francisco; FRAC Alsace; and M+, Hong Kong.

藝術家楊沛鏗(1988年生於廣東,長於香港,現工作於香港),其藝術創作挖掘密閉系統的邏輯,揭示這些系統造就與遏制情感和行為的方式。他對生態、園藝與水生生態系統興趣濃厚,常在混合媒介作品中,藉精心佈置的物件、照片、動物和植物,以細膩手法探討人際關係與大自然的人工狀態。

楊沛鏗曾參與多項國際展覽,包括悉尼雙年展(2024)、新加坡雙年展(2022)、加德滿都三年展(2022)、里昂雙年展(2019)、愛爾蘭EVA國際雙年展(2018)、達卡藝術峰會(2018)和上海雙年展(2015);其作品曾於世界各地機構展出,包括倫敦Gasworks藝術工作室(2023)、巴黎現代藝術博物館(2022)、香港大館當代美術館(2022)、杜拜Jameel 藝術中心(2022)、基輔PinchukArtCentre(2021)、香港M+博物館(2021)、上海當代藝術博物館(2021)、香港Para Site藝術空間(2020)和科隆雕塑公園(2020)。楊沛鏗入圍「希克獎」(2023)、「未來世代藝術獎」(2021)和「寶馬藝術之旅獎」(2015)。
