WALKING THE WALK
3 chanell video installation


Progression is always the reason of doing something. It sounds perfectly right. However, sometimes, even a walk for exercising the body and relaxation, a destination is necessary for some people. What can be actually satisfied by setting such a target or other countable check points?

The philosophy of Qigong is inspiring. A wisdom of recognizing the force and flow, not really the movement, allows us to realize what is truly natural for each unique body. Can we walk the walk with similar attitudes? And be able to respond to the surroundings with authenticity? Learning how to achieve the latter was perhaps the reason why I was there during a social movement last year in my city.
 
Born and grew up in Hong Kong, Jamsen Law started actively participating in theatrical and video production before his graduation from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the University of Hong Kong and was one of the core members of a multimedia art group, 20 Beans + A Box.

His independent video works have been exhibited in festivals in Europe, Asia, North and South America, such as Videobrasil International Electronic Art Festival, Transmediale Berlin and Ogaki Biennale. He also had his solo screenings in Toronto, Tokyo, Busan and Hong Kong. Jamsen's works explore the meaning of process and existence, consciousness, interiority, desire and fear through multiple artforms.

After his research on media aesthetics in Institute of Advanced Media Art and Science in Japan, he started to curate media arts-related artist-in-residence and collaborative projects. He now teaches visual arts in universities in Hong Kong.
