Lap-See Lam: Tales of the Altersea / Kunsthalle Portikus, Frankfurt am Main

Lap-See Lam’s exhibition “Tales of the Altersea” at Kunsthalle Portikus in Frankfurt am Main (Germany) has its starting point in the story of the Sea Palace, a floating restaurant in the shape of a dragon that sailed from Shanghai to Europe in the early 1990s. At the heart of the show is a video installation that is projected onto the walls and the floor of the gallery. The projection tells the story of the twin sisters Dahlia and Julie. During their underwater journey, the girls encounter a series of characters directly related to or inspired by Cantonese mythology and history. The exhibition is curated by Liberty Adrien and Carina Bukuts and runs until May 28, 2023. A future iteration of the work will be presented at Swiss Institute, New York, from May to August 2023.
