■ Exhibition Statement:
Symbols have always transcended time, carrying with them the values and ideals of
the societies that created them. They are more than mere signs—they are reflections
of collective memory and meaning, passed down through generations.
Nouvelle Notions of Nostalgia explores these symbols at the intersection of two
distinct cultural spheres—Hong Kong and Japan. Through this lens, the exhibition
challenges conventional understandings of victory and symbolism in a
contemporary context.
The featured works highlight inspiring figures from Hong Kong and Japan,
examining how they have been remembered and how their significance has evolved.
Is fame synonymous with victory, or is legacy defined by what is left behind? Beyond
appearances and titles, these figures leave an enduring imprint on society, shaping
our shared consciousness.
Central to the exhibition is the Greek goddess of victory, Nike, a timeless symbol of
triumph. But what does victory truly mean? Victory over what, and for whom?
Through the histories of Hong Kong and Japan, Nouvelle Notions of Nostalgia
uncovers a redefinition of victory :
Hong Kong, a convergence of Eastern and Western cultures, embodies victory not in
domination but in coexistence and cultural evolution.
Japan, shaped by postwar recovery and economic growth, demonstrates that
endurance and the transmission of culture are triumphs in their own right.
In this exhibition, the iconic image of Nike is enveloped in layers of vibrant paint,
deconstructing her symbolism and reexamining the multifaceted nature of victory.
Here, victory is resilience—the ability to endure, adapt, and preserve culture over
time. By juxtaposing Nike with iconic figures from Hong Kong and Japan, the
exhibition reimagines their roles as symbols in history and reflects on the legacies
they have left behind.
At PMQ, where Hong Kong’s history and creativity converge, this exhibition invites
you to reflect on how symbols shape memory, identity, and our collective
understanding of history.
