Yim Sui Fong 嚴瑞芳

Published by Jessica Wan

Between the personal and the political lies Hong Kong-based artist Yim Sui Fong’s long-standing enquiry into how we come to know and relate to the world – an enquiry shaped by playful, embodied, socially engaged practices. Her work often explores how individual agency can generate new ways of seeing and being within power structures embedded in everyday life. Through participatory listening, performative archiving and collaborative workshops, she creates artworks that become public encounters and platforms for collective meaning-making. In recent years, she has developed sonic interventions, such as A Stream A Path (2025-) and Stair Mass (2022), to explore the role of sound in remembering personal experience and sparking collective imagination. These works expand the role of the artist as storyteller, facilitator and social archivist. From June to August 2025, she was a resident artist at Delfina Foundation in London, where she continued researching archives and collaborative learning practices across cultural contexts.

Shrouded by lofty trees and brick walls, the cemetery embraces a different temporal experience, embodied by a curious mixture of tipping gravestones, decaying statues and a profusion of organic growth. Originally built to alleviate the overcrowding of graveyards during the Victorian era, the garden cemetery became defunct in the 1970s after its management went bankrupt. Further neglect in the years since has led to its evolution into the ecological sanctuary that it is today. Over the course of his two-month residency at London’s Delfina Foundation this summer, Luk returned to the cemetery and continued his exploration. Reflecting on this quality of otherness, he draws on Michel Foucault’s concept of “heterotopia” and disciplines such as garden studies and cemetery management to further understand the cemetery’s historical significance and present circumstances.
