Geographical space preserves the complexity of a territory. From space-time, public space, mental space to cyberspace, space can refer to an assortment of things that range from physical phenomenon, social practices and symbolic ideas. As the world’s most populated and developed metropolitan areas, Tokyo and Hong Kong share a lot of challenges faced by cities across the globe, particularly on the issues of space. Under this context, Ip Yuk Yiu launched curatorial project “FALSE Spaces”, a cross-cultural initiative in exploring the production of space as a form of critical probing.
