Open Studio with Bobby Shuk Pui
Join us for an Open Studio with visual artist Bobby Shuk Pui Yu, our newest resident at the FUTURES Hub.
Bobby Shuk Pui Yu will present her ongoing project Curses, Human-faced Fish, Sadako Yamamura, which explores how folklore and visual culture materialize collective fears and societal anxieties through the transmission of curses.Inspired by two iconic Asian narratives—the Taiwanese legend of the human-faced fish and Sadako Yamamura from Japan’s Ring—her project examines how fear spreads through storytelling and visual media, shaping behaviors around self-preservation. As part of the FUTURES & MPB Residency, Bobby continued researching and developing her forthcoming solo exhibition at Fotografiens Hus (October 2025), investigating how traditional folklore evolves in contemporary contexts.
