Discover a unique dialogue between past and present at "The Pleasure-Dome of Hills: A Curated Hallucination of a Modern Literati," on view from Aug. 27 to Oct. 3, 2026, at Ora-Ora. Curated by Hong Kong-based independent curator Zoie Yung, the multidisciplinary group exhibition brings together works by 13 artists, including Chan Cho Kiu Bunchi, Emily Cheng, Dave Chow Yui Wang, Huang Dan, Ashlee Ip, Vann Kwok, Lam Duen Shan Ming, Lau Hiu Tung, Mindy Lui, Gerald Mak, Tse Chun Sing, Wengio Wong, and Zhang Zhihui.

Inspired by the imagined layout of a traditional scholar’s studio, the exhibition juxtaposes Ming Dynasty huanghuali, Qing Dynasty zitan, and Republican-era rosewood furniture with contemporary art, craft, and wearable works. Through this concept of “polytemporality,” the exhibition creates a space where historical artifacts and contemporary interventions coexist, celebrating both the beauty and function of diverse artistic practices.

Part of Ora-Ora’s 20th anniversary celebrations, the exhibition explores how traditional shanshui landscapes are perceived within modern urban life. Through works such as Dave Chow’s "Constancy", as well as presentations by Vann Kwok, Ashlee Ip, Emily Cheng, and Huang Dan, visitors are invited on a journey that mirrors the experience of moving from Hollywood Road and Tai Kwun into Hong Kong’s surrounding natural landscapes. An opening reception will be held on Aug. 27, 2026, from 5 PM to 8 PM.
