Light scatters in all directions, allowing us to see the shapes, colours, and textures around us. Its presence marks the passage of time. Dawn, noon, dusk, and the moon each brings different hues to the sky. Light illuminates the present, scattering across our minds to form memories that coalesce, swirl, accumulate, and eventually fade. We capture light through images, hoping to preserve its fleeting glow. Yet when we revisit these images, can we rekindle the light and shadows of those moments past? How can we retain the warmth that once accompanied light?

Videotage invites two local artists, Colbie Fung and Jess Lau, to explore the relationship between memory and imagery in a duo-solo exhibition. Both artistic practices centre on themes of time and memory—one by connecting second-hand recollections, the other by engaging with time through her own physical presence. This exhibition presents their latest works, reflecting on the interplay between visual and sensory memories. Fung climbs a tree she once feared as a child, using a portable scanner to capture close-ups as she experiences the tree bit by bit. Lau, having accompanied her father through cataract surgery, explores the body's reception of light, imagining how he perceives his surroundings through a foggy veil.

In the dim exhibition space, the light captured by the artists re-emerges as an interweaving, waiting to morph into memories of others. Light enters our visions, becoming fragments of memories—sometimes flashing, sometimes fleeting, scattering everywhere.
