Samson Young
the mind blanks at the glare
Galerie Gisela Capitain is pleased to announce its second solo exhibition with Hong Kong based artist Samson Young.
With the exhibition the mind blanks at the glare Young expands on his thinking about systems of beliefs and disbelief which act as volatile gatekeepers to fragile concepts of the truth or the real.
“In the past, seeing was believing; yet, today we can’t be so sure. (...) In this vacuum, information that is mobilised through feeling first is rendered more reliable than the images - scientific, or otherwise - we see.”
