Wing Po So: Take Turns

Mar 15, 2025 - May 25, 2025

鈥楾ake Turns鈥 by Hong Kong artist Wing Po So is a newly commissioned exhibition at Para Site that examines the shifting dynamics among nature, the body, and materiality using Chinese medicine drawers as vessels. Growing up in a family-run Chinese medicine shop, So was immersed in the world of materia medica, and this upbringing has deeply influenced her artistic practice. Central to the exhibition are salvaged drawers from now-defunct traditional Chinese pharmacies in Hong Kong, reimagined as sites of transformative healing. The drawers鈥 worn surfaces bear witness to cycles of preservation, decay, and regeneration. Recast to hold the artist鈥檚 works, they prompt reflections on material change while highlighting the interconnectedness of living beings, geology, and human-made objects.

The exhibition presents works across three 鈥榠slands鈥 within Para Site鈥檚 tenth-floor space, anchored by a central wooden structure inspired by generative systems. The immersive installation integrates Chinese herbs, rocks, kinetic sculptures, 3D-printed objects, sonic rhythms and more, creating an ecosystem where the boundaries between the organic and inorganic, animate and inanimate, dissolve. 鈥楾ake Turns鈥 is curated by Yuanyu Li.
