Description
This catalogue features South Ho’s mixed media series Every Daily that marks a breakthrough in his creative work. In a departure from his previous photography, this series is his first to incorporate the element of painting based on a collection of black and white photographs of Tin Shui Wai. Ho fills the sky between the densely packed residential buildings with uniformly sized blocks of different colours. In a similar vein of random existence, the artist picks the colour of each block by throwing a dice. He goes on to paint the repetitive, uniformly sized blocks on the photographs using the paintbrushes left by his late father. Through the mechanical and monotonous process of painting blocks, Ho attempts to reach a meditative state of self-healing for the loss of his father.
