The Hong Kong House in 2025 will host a special exhibition by two artists, Chris Cheung (h0nh1m) and Sim Shum Kwan Yi.
On the Echigo Tsumari Art Field, we found the stones that speak. “The Book of Stones” based on the acoustic instrument in the Japanese Zen garden – Suikinkutsu and Shishi-odoshi to create resonating soundscape through the stones and the Cantonese Porcelain pots. The concept comes from the allusion of “a talking stone” back in 534 BC in the Jin state of the Zhou dynasty. The story reflects stones become a metaphor and symbolic meanings that words could not be tell. After more than 2,500 years today, the talking stones are found in the Echigo Tsumari Art Field, and now we sincerely invite the audience to listen to the story of “The Book of Stones”.
