Blindspot Gallery is pleased to debut Lap-See Lam’s solo exhibition at the gallery and in Asia, “Bamboo Palace, Revisited”, opening on 21 March 2026, coinciding with Art Basel Hong Kong. The exhibition presents Lam’s expansive video installation Floating Sea Palace (2024), alongside her latest glass and neon installations. Lam probes the experience of the Cantonese diaspora, migrational movement, generation loss, and the mistranslation of cultural symbols, orientalized through the spectacle of exoticization. Through speculative fiction and mythology, Lam explores the slippery notions of home and belonging, drawing from her personal experiences growing up in a Hong Kong-immigrant family that owned and ran a Chinese restaurant in Stockholm until 2014. Lam’s work further integrates reinterpretations of traditional forms of storytelling, including shadow play and Cantonese opera, and 3D scanning technology. The scans glitch and deform, a quality embodied in the term “generation loss”, which for Lam conveys a multifaceted identity, and the mutations of memories and knowledge across generations.
