Committed to promoting design and culture through partnerships with international museums and organisations, HKDI, IVE and VTC are delighted to present Tim Yip: Blue – Art, Costumes and Memory as the grand finale of the world-class interdisciplinary exhibition line-up curated by HKDI Gallery in 2018.
Drawing on world-renowned visual artist, stage and film art director and costume designerTim YIP’s imagination, history and memory, the exhibition is divided into 3 distinctive stages, offering a rare glimpse into the history of his legendary career. The first stage of the exhibition will feature 21 costumes from YIP’s films and original creations, prominently focusing on the original costumes from “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” as well as “Red Cliff” and “The Banquet”.
The second and the third stage of the exhibition will introduce a series of film projects focused on Tim’s ongoing muse and creation, “Lili” – a wigged manikin posed as a human model that has been a focus in several of Tim YIP’s work. Representing a symbol of separate reality, the third and final stage of the exhibition will feature “Robot Lili”, where the robotic figure is the speculation and imagination of the future of collective memory and artificial intelligence.
