    Para Site is excited to present a solo exhibition by To Kai On Benny, ‘Dimensional Civilisation Archeology Project 2.0’, at Art Basel Hong Kong 2022 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. The exhibition stems from the artist’s interest in anime and manga, in which he has noticed references to and inspirations from ancient mythology and religions. As a result, many of the works on view are based on characters and action figures from anime and video games, deconstructed and reconstructed through pottery techniques by the artist to resemble archaeological artefacts. A newly commissioned work for this exhibition extends beyond tangible mediums in the form of an 8-bit video game that invites the audience to experience the artist’s worldview as characters within the game. The exhibition is curated by Celia Ho and Kobe Ko.

    Para Site藝術空間將於香港會議展覽中心2022年巴塞爾藝術展香港展會呈獻陶啟安個展「次元文明考古計劃2.0」。是次展覽源自藝術家對於動漫文化的興趣--他發現動漫作品的文本經常擷取古代神話,包含了不同宗教元素。因此,展出作品多以動漫與電子遊戲中的角色、玩具模型為基礎,以陶藝技法將其解構與重組,轉化成古代文物的型態。藝術家是次展覽的委託作品突破了實體創作媒介的界限,以八位元像素繪圖風格製作出短篇遊戲,邀請觀眾透過電子遊戲中的考古人物設定去感受藝術家的世界觀。是次展覽由何思穎及高穎琳策劃。
