It’s literally a circus show.

Hope & Glory is a 2-month exhibition by Hong Kong-based artist, Simon Birch. Set in a massive 20,000 square foot space, Birch re-imagined the thriving circus industry from the 19th century in a notably different visual vocabulary to immerse the viewer into a metaphorical journey of a nation’s rise and fall, hopes and glories. From the hologram of haunting freak-show warriors to the glowing living room grid, each piece is designed to trigger the viewer’s curious mind to discover its symbolic values.
