Hou Lam Tsui 徐皓霖
Hong Kong
Hou Lam Tsui (b. 1997) is a Hong Kong-based visual artist who works across moving image, sculpture, installation, and text. Her practice centres around personal experience, affect, gender politics, and peripheral storytelling. Tsui rethinks how femininity and queerness are imagined within cultures, critically exploring how media and consumer desires shape emotions, our notion of love, femininity, and identities by drawing inspiration from pop culture, advertisement, anime, literature and beyond.
Her work has been exhibited at museums and institutions including Guangdong Times Museum (China), MoNTUE (Taiwan), Para Site (Hong Kong), and Tai Kwun Contemporary (Hong Kong). Her moving image works have been screened at ACMI (Australia), the Beijing International Short Film Festival (China), Image Forum (Japan), Kassel Documentary Film and Video Festival (Germany), Proyector Video Art Festival (Spain), Tirana International Film Festival (Albania), and Videoex Festival (Switzerland), among others. Her short film Hangnail was awarded the Best Student Experimental award at the Tirana International Film Festival 2025. Selected recent exhibitions include The Limit is the Turbulent Skies (MoNTUE, Taiwan, 2025) and Follow the Feeling (Guangdong Times Museum, China, 2024).
She received a BA in Fine Art and History of Art from the University of Leeds in 2018 and later obtained an MFA from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2024.
