Presented By: Studio For Narrative Spaces (lead by RAY LC)

The Studio for Narrative Space, with the support of the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, is proud to announce its upcoming exhibition, "Dreamscapes." Opening on 27 February to 10 March at Hong Kong Arts Centre Pao Galleries, this immersive exhibition investigates the dream as one of humanity’s oldest and most profound sources of creativity, insight, and unconscious vision.

Dreams have perpetually fascinated humanity, serving not as mere fantasies but as profound echoes of our inner worlds. They transcend the rigid logic of waking life, dissolving time and space to create boundless, personal realms. "Dreamscapes" explores this phenomenon by bringing together a roster of international contemporary artists who treat dreams as shared narrative spaces. Through installation, moving image, photography, interactive systems, and live performance, the exhibition examines dreams as sites of speculation, trauma, desire, and self-projection.

In our current era, defined by artificial intelligence, data systems, and computational vision, the nature of the dream is evolving. Dreams are now externalized as datasets, simulations, glitches, and digital archives, creating a new frontier where the human subconscious meets machine imagination. "Dreamscapes" delves into this intersection, showcasing how artists use technology—particularly AI-driven processes—to revisit, interpret, and reconstruct dream logic. The exhibition prompts a critical reflection on how our inner worlds are externalized and how contemporary tools reshape the ways we remember, predict, and narrate our very selves.

"Dreams are the unconscious mind’s most vivid canvas," says the Creative Director of the project, RAY LC, Assistant Professor of City University of Hong Kong, Multimedia artist. "But they are never static; they evolve with every memory, mirroring the generative nature of AI.
Guided by this, we unite a global roster of contemporary artists who transform this insight into collective narrative. They move beyond the personal to illuminate the communal dreamscapes that connect us all."
