Revenge(2013) Sculpture

Mak Ying Tung was born in 1989, Hong Kong. She is educated in School of Creative Media of City University of Hong Kong, major in Critical Intermedia Art. Her practice combines installation, performance and illustration, frequently dealing with de-contextualization of everyday objects. She is interested in discovering something unusual in the minutiae of life. Her first solo exhibition, "Funny Stationery"(2012), she forged a collection of work made from everyday stationery. Through repositioning and titling, the original functions of the stationary were replaced by the whimsical visual humor. She would like to highlight that objects as banal as stationery would also be capable of addressing the anomalies in life and creating a sense of absurdity. And such association on banal objects has already become her conceptual strategy. Her following work, "Happy, Happier, Happiest" (2013), "Sterilization"(2013) and "Virgin Mary"(2013) also made use of domestic objects transfigured into objects of eccentricity and anomalies.
