the juxtaposition of these two artworks illustrates the arc of the artist's versatility and imagination, which is manifested within and beyond himself to society and its cultural context. the most intriguing aspect of this exhibition is witnessing how lam tung-pang illustrates this sense of identity through a conscious turn of mind and direction. if folding exemplifies a curious but protective individual displaced from home, then the youngest and the oldest represents a harmonic disjunction in form and substance that maps out his anxiety about the present. the gulf between these two bodies of work indicates lam tung-pang's transformation from a conceptual artist to a cultural translator who visualizes today's hong kong in a post-1997 and pre-2047 era, the latter year marking fifty years after the handover of hong kong to china.
