Interweaving mini DV footage, film and CCD digital photographs, and found footage, Death or something like that is a visual diary on deaths, loss, and grieving living in the AFK (away from keyboard) world.

《Death or something like that》是一部關於死亡、失去和哀悼的視覺日記,揉合迷你DV攝影機錄像、膠卷及CCD數碼照片以及現成影像,試圖捕捉身處現實與屏幕之間一步之遙的微妙距離。

about the artist /

Hou Lam Tsui (b. 1997) is an artist who works across moving image, sculpture, installation, and text. Her practice centres around personal experience, affect, gender politics, and peripheral storytelling. Tsui rethinks how femininity and queerness are imagined within cultures, critically exploring how media and consumer desires shape emotions, our notion of love, femininity, and identities by drawing inspiration from pop culture, advertisement, anime, literature and beyond.

Her work has been previously exhibited and screened at ACMI (Australia), Art Basel Films (Hong Kong), Beijing International Short Film Festival (China), Guangdong Times Museum (China), Para Site (Hong Kong), Tai Kwun Contemporary (Hong Kong), among others.

Tsui lives and works in Hong Kong. She received a BA in Fine Art and History of Art from the University of Leeds in 2018 and later obtained an MFA from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2024.
