our love is not destined is a fragmented story with eight chapters. This video juxtaposes new monologues with a compilation of Japanese Shōwa commercials, unfolding the politics of love and complex emotions in an intimate relationship.

《我們不是命中注定》由八個章節的零碎故事組成,將獨白與日本昭和年代廣告集並置,揭示情愛政治以及浪漫關係裡面的複雜情感。

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).
