about the artist /
Hou Lam Tsui (b. 1997), is an artist based in Hong Kong. Her work encompasses a wide range of mediums, including moving images, installation, sculpture, and text. Her practice centres around gender, emotions, body, and personal experiences. Drawing inspiration from pop culture, anime, and TV commercials, Tsui critically explores the tension between agency and consumer desires and rethinks how capitalism shapes the commodification of bodies.
Tsui received a BA in Fine Art and History of Art from the University of Leeds in 2018 and an MFA from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2024. Selected recent exhibitions include Follow the Feeling (Times Museum, 2024), One is not born a woman (Square Street Gallery, 2023), Post-Human Narratives—In the Name of Scientific Witchery (Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences, 2022), and Noble Rot (Para Site, Hong Kong, 2021).
