Museum of the Lost

The exhibition presents the collaborative works of Hong Kong artists Leung Chi Wo and Sara Wong, featuring a series of portraits alongside an ongoing collection of archival materials with captions penned by the artists.
He was lost yesterday and we found him today is a series of staged portraits in which the artists re-enact anonymous figures in old newspapers, pamphlets and other archival materials that they have been collecting for their on-going project Museum of the Lost.
