Solomon's Fair: Anthony Lam

Anthony Lam is one of Hong Kong’s brightest new stars as he mixes video and sculpture in a multi-media array of artworks.  Anthony Lam’s current series of works deals with the ever changing kaleidoscope which has traditionally been an object of fascination, whereby, Lam brings the object into a shared space by utilizing the camera to film a kaleidoscope and view it through a screen.  He states, “Whilst viewing through the eyepiece of the kaleidoscope, we often express in amazement at the intricate pattern and the numerous combinations it creates. At every slight change in movement, its instant beauty is morphed and transformed before our eyes. With each pattern being unique and transient, this allowed endless scope for our mind to idle away pensively and slowly lost in a trance of self-satisfaction.”
