About me
Info
  1. Tianyi is always in either a second-hand shop or on second-hand sale apps where she encounters found objects, images and footage (and she never feels bored). Her love for used/ collected/ found objects originates from, instead of nostalgia, a haunted feeling experienced in the contemporary days as the past has not been shed away while our world keeps moving, or in fact it can never be...

The Ship of Fools


The Ship of Fools
2023
Site-specific installation, videos, found objects, paintings, performance
Size virable

Tianyi Zheng's solo exhibition "Ship of Fools" at Gallerieboii is a poignant and immersive exploration of memory, displacement, and socio-political flux. Returning to Hong Kong after nearly four years, Zheng re-engages with a space that was once her studio and living quarters, now transformed into a project space. This exhibition metaphorically charts the journey of an exiled madman who revisits with a treasure trove of forgotten stories, fantastical dreams, and haunted memories.

"Ship of Fools" features a site-specific installation comprising videos, found objects, paintings, and performances. Zheng not only revisits her personal history but also reflects on Hong Kong’s broader socio-political landscape. This exhibition is a testament to her ability to weave together personal narratives and collective experiences, creating a space for reflection and dialogue.
