    ARTIST: Yuk Mui Law

     

    Yuk Mui Law is a multidisciplinary artist and art educator; she was the co-founder and deputy director of the artist-run organisation Rooftop Institute (2016-2022); currently lives and works between Hong Kong and Chiba-ken.
     
    Using performative video and sound installation as her mediums, and adopting the methodology of field study and collecting, she often intervenes in the mundane space and daily life of the city and catches the physical traces of history, the psychological pathways of humans, the marks of time and the political power in relation to geographic space. Law often digs into fragments of narratives and microhistories. She is also sensitive to remnants in the art making process and finds imaginative ways to re-use and reactivate these things.
