sinokultur and PF25 cultural projects invite you to a tour with Hong Kong-born, Helsinki-based, artist Oscar Chan Yik Long.
The exhibition To Sleep and Wake Unafraid is titled after a line from Ingmar Bergman’s 1968 film ‘Hour of the Wolf’, the exhibition draws on the liminal hours before sunrise—moments that stir deep emotional currents in both the conscious and unconscious. For Chan, these early hours resonate with those navigating complexity and difference in their lived realities, while also evoking a universal longing—and right—for safe spaces of self-understanding, healing, and growth.
The exhibition reflects on the relationship between action and identity: how daily gestures and routines shape both body and mind, and how these elements influence and transform one another. Drawing on the philosophy of traditional Chinese medicine, it explores the dynamic interplay between physical and emotional states.
The tour will be held in English.
