古河寓

Resonating with Hong Kong’s luxury residential properties sales galleries, the exhibition is presented as a showroom for the fictional residential project “Indus-haus” in a polluted post-apocalyptic world.

It invites audiences to walk into the make-believe project launch as potential prospective buyers. The project offers an imaginative ground to explore how human are shaping their new home under overdevelopment, scarce natural resources in a speculative future. While building a new real estate is dynamic and visionary, it is arguable that the process leads to the destruction of existing neighbourhoods. When an old home is replaced, when the old land is taken, should we stand up against the development? Or should we embrace the new and reconcile? The exhibition prompts reflection on the balance between capitalist development, the preservation of nature, and the positioning of humans in the future.
