Isaac Chong Wai’s solo exhibition “An Intimate Surrender” will be held at Tai Kwun, Hong Kong, opening to the public on 10 July 2026.
“Building on his recent performance projects revolving around the tensions inherent in human interactions, Chong revisits scenes of stage rehearsals and film sets, taking the 1993 film Farewell My Concubine as a point of departure.
Over four weeks, the exhibition will transform the 3/F gallery into a monumental installation comprising metal structures, etched glass, mirrored panels and textiles. Dancers will perform a series of choreographed movements, drawing references from film scenes and gestures from Peking Opera. Staged in the exhibition space, the performers will bring the audience into direct bodily confrontation with their movements. “- Tai Kwun Contemporary
