Pipilotti Rist<\/strong>\u00a0per M+ Facade.\u00a0La facciata si trova all’interno delle architetture ondulate del famoso skyline di Hong Kong lungo il Victoria Harbour.\u00a0Presentato nel trambusto di una citt\u00e0 con milioni di abitanti, il lavoro incorpora le tipiche tavolozze di colori vividi di Rist e il lavoro di macchina fotografica a mano libera, riecheggiando i dinamici cambiamenti di scala del paesaggio urbano di Hong Kong.<\/p>\nRist affronta il concetto di mano da una variet\u00e0 di scale, rispecchiando le dinamiche della citt\u00e0 stessa da un’intima scala umana, a quella che \u00e8 la dimensione di un edificio.\u00a0Mentre le mani intrecciano e tracciano un percorso attorno a vari oggetti a velocit\u00e0 variabili, Rist assume non solo il patrimonio di design e architettura di Hong Kong, ma anche le singole mani che hanno scolpito, collocato e forgiato queste forme onnipresenti.\u00a0Per Rist, il suo lavoro guarda alle mani non solo come lavoro e creazione, ma anche ornamentale: le nostre mani possono essere bellissime estensioni delle nostre emozioni, per comunicare con altri esseri viventi senza parole.\u00a0L’opera sar\u00e0 esposta su M+ Facade tutti i giorni dalle 19:00 alle 21:00 dal 18 marzo al 21 maggio e ogni sabato e domenica dalle 19:00 alle 21:00 dal 22 maggio al 17 giugno 2023.<\/p>\n

\n\u2018Hand Me Your Trust\u2019 by Pipilotti Rist
\nCommissioned by M+ and supported by Art Basel and UBS, \u2018Hand Me Your Trust\u2019 is a
\nbrand-new site-specific moving image work by Pipilotti Rist for the M+ Facade. The facade
\nis set within the undulating architectures of Hong Kong\u2019s world-famous skyline along
\nVictoria Harbour. Presented in the hustle and bustle of a city with millions of inhabitants,
\nthe work incorporates Rist\u2019s typically vivid color palettes and freeform camera work,
\nechoing the dynamic shifts of scale of Hong Kong\u2019s urban landscape.
\nRist approaches the concept of the hand from a variety of scales, mirroring the dynamics
\nof the city itself from an intimate human scale, to one that is the size of a building. As the
\nhands weave and chart a path around various objects at varying velocities, Rist takes on
\nnot only Hong Kong\u2019s design and architecture heritage, but also the individual hands that
\nsculpted, placed, and forged these ubiquitous forms into being. For Rist, her work looks
\nat hands not only as working and creating, but also ornamentally: our hands can be
\nbeautiful extensions of our emotions, to communicate with other living beings without
\nwords. The work will be shown on M+ Facade daily from 7 to 9pm from March 18 to May
\n21 and every Saturday and Sunday from 7 to 9pm from 22 May to 17 June 2023.
