HART HAUS is proud to present Double Blue: An Altered Fairy Tale of Hong Kong (I), featuring Florence Yuk-ki Lee, curated by Danson Wong.
Continuing the artist’s long-term exploration of “sense of place,” the exhibition transforms urban imagery and fairytale structures through experimental animation. Drifting schools of fish, disappearing coastlines, and intersecting flight paths unfold as floating visual motifs, revealing the complexity and liminality of the city. Here, belonging is reimagined not as a settled identity, but as a practice of temporarily anchoring the self and its shifting emotions within the rhythms of the city.
Every era rewrites its fairy tales, deciding who takes center stage and whose happiness is validated. If Hong Kong had its own fairy tale, what would it look like?
In Jungian psychology, fairy tales are tools for navigating the deep-seated conflicts and desires of the psyche; mirroring the collective unconscious while exploring universal themes of growth, loss, and hope. Against this backdrop, Lee employs AI-assisted processes to map recurring urban narratives of Hong Kong, weaving them with personal emotion and lived experience through experimental animation. She shapes an "Altered Fairy Tale" of the city, transforming the cityscape into two flowing trajectories of blue—ocean and sky—evoking drifting waters and ever-changing clouds.These blue trajectories intersects within the exhibition, allowing the city’s narrative to emerge at the confluence of tides and flight paths: the ocean chronicles the history of urban time, while the sky articulates emotional states, creating layered narratives situated between urban landscapes and psychological spaces.
Throughout history, fairy tales have often been rewritten in response to social shifts and cultural needs, showcasing their high degree of variability and heterogeneity. Double Blue seeks to reinterpret the cityscape through the lens of "Altered Fairy Tale," loosening the rigidity of established reality and expand perceptions of the city. Lee constructs a world devoid of fixed protagonists or predetermined endings, where fish, clouds, tides, faint shadows, and urban silhouettes come to life through motion and metamorphosis. Within this space between dream and reality, viewers are invited to rethink the nature and future of the city while experiencing the diversity of Hong Kong's urban stories. This endeavor represents not only a metamorphosis of form, but also a profound emotional response to the moments where language fails.
HART HAUS 榮幸呈獻由黃銘樂策展的李鈺淇展覽「雙重藍：香港異童話篇章 （上）」。
藝術家李鈺淇延續對「地方感」的長期探索，透過實驗動畫將香港城市景象與童話概念進行轉化，如游標般漂浮的魚群、消失的海岸線和交錯的航班，皆化為流動的視覺意象，呈現「地方感」的複雜性與流動性，並揭示了「地方感」不僅與歸屬感有關，更是著重於自我與情感如何在城市節奏中暫時安放。
每個時代都重寫童話，並決定誰能成為主角，誰的幸福被認可。如果香港有一則屬於自己的童話，它將是什麼樣貌？
在榮格心理學中，童話被視為一種引導我們理解內心深處衝突與渴望的工具，這些故事無形中反映了集體潛意識，探索成長、喪失和希望等普遍主題，揭示人類內心的複雜性。在這背景下，李鈺淇運用 AI 技術整理出香港城市故事的普遍藍圖，並以實驗動畫媒介融合個人情感與生活經驗，塑造出一個屬於香港的「異童話」。她將城市轉化為象徵海洋和天空的兩道流動藍色軌跡，反映不斷變化的水域和雲朵的游移。這兩條藍色軌跡在展場中交疊，使城市的敘事浮現於潮水與航線交會之處：海洋書寫城市歷史的時間，天空表述情緒的狀態，共同構出介於城市地景與心理空間之間的多重敘事層次。
歷史上童話常因應社會轉變與文化需求而被重寫，展現出其高度的可變性與異質性。《雙重藍》希望透過「異童話」的方式重新詮釋城市景觀，鬆動固化的現實秩序，並拓展對城市的感知。李鈺淇為香港異童話篇章建構出一個缺乏定型主角與結局的世界，讓魚、雲、潮水、微弱影子與都市輪廓在游移與變形中獲得生命。在這個融合夢幻與現實的空間中，觀眾得以重新思考城市的本質與未來，並體驗香港城市故事的多樣性。這不僅是形式的重塑，更是在語言失效時情感的深刻回應。

About the Artist 藝術家簡介
Florence Yuk-ki Lee is a Hong Kong-based artist and filmmaker working across experimental animation, video sculpture, drawing, and publishing. Her practice explores sense of place and topophilia, approaching place as an affective construct shaped by movement, memory, and perception. Her animations are composed of digitally hand-drawn frames that flow seamlessly in motion, unfold as micro-narratives attentive to emotional residue, transition, and states of suspension.
Lee holds a BA from Central Saint Martins and an MFA from City University of Hong Kong Her films Park Voyage (2022) and Elephant in Castle (2021) have received international recognition at major film festivals, including nominations at Annecy, Animafest Zagreb, and Fantoche, and screenings at festivals such as the Sydney Film Festival. Her work has been exhibited internationally at institutions including M+ Museum (Hong Kong), MoCA Taipei, Centre Pompidou (online), Museum of Contemporary Art Zagreb and MoNTUE (Taiwan), with recent solo exhibitions at MoCA Taipei (2025) and Artside Gallery, Seoul (2024). Her work is held in the permanent collection of M+ Museum.
李鈺淇，生於香港，是一位藝術家與實驗動畫導演。她的藝術實踐包括實驗動畫、動畫裝置、繪畫及藝術出版。 她的創作聚焦於對「地方感」的探索，關注地方如何在流動、記憶與感知之中形成其情感與敘事層次。李鈺淇透過動畫與裝置，組構日常生活經驗與城市感知的視覺片段，探討個體在城市空間中對自身、記憶與文化身份的感知方式。其動畫作品以數位手繪影格構成，影像在連續流動中展開，形成關於情感痕跡、過渡與懸置經驗的微觀敘事。
李鈺淇從英國倫敦藝術大學中央聖馬丁學院畢業，獲得平面傳播設計文學士，主修流動影像; 並於香港城市大學藝術碩士。 她憑M+委約動畫短片《遊、樂、園》及畢業作品《城堡裡的大象》在國際影展中獲得廣泛認可，獲法國安錫國際動畫影展提名，並入圍克羅埃西亞薩格勒布國際動畫影展、瑞士Fantoche國際動畫影展、臺灣關渡國際動畫節及澳洲雪梨影展等。 她的作品曾在多個國際藝術機構展出及放映，包括：香港M+博物館、台北當代藝術館、台灣北師美術館、法國龐畢度藝術中心線上影片系列、克羅埃西亞當代藝術博物館、首爾Artside Gallery、中國成都市美術館等。近期個展包括 「散落在異國海洋的星空」 (台北當代藝術館，2025) 及 「Let it sprout beneath my skin」 (首爾Artside Gallery，2024)。 其作品被M+博物館納入永久館藏。
