Bio 

Florence Lam (b.1992 Vancouver, Canada) is currently based in Hong Kong. Working with wonder, animism and magical thinking in child psychology, and dealing with ecofeminist philosophies and more-than-human narratives, Florence’s works dive into investigating the fertility and sterility of the mind manifested through the properties of the biological body and language as a hint to the evolution of value systems, morality and spiritual understanding through performance, poetry and film. She obtained her MA Fine Art from Iceland Academy of the Arts in 2017 and her BA Fine Art from Central Saint Martins in 2014.

Lam has performed around Asia and Europe, including M+ (Hong Kong, 2023), Tai Kwun Contemporary (Hong Kong, 2022), Para Site (Hong Kong, 2021), Hidden Space (Hong Kong, 2020), Nanhai Gallery (Taipei, Taiwan 2019), MACRO Testattio Mattatoio Art Museum (Rome, Italy 2018), Kling & Bang (Reykjavík, Iceland 2018), Manifesta 11 (Zürich, Switzerland 2016) etc. Art festivals include IMPORT/EXPORT (Livorno, Italy 2023), Movement Festival (Hong Kong 2022), Black Market International - Exploring 2021 (Frankfurt, Germany 2021), A!
