CHAN SUK ON

Lives and works in Hong Kong

Chan Suk On was born and lives in Hong Kong. She graduated
from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University with a Bachelor
of Photographic Design. She gained her Masters of Arts in
Fine Arts at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. On is an
editor, photographer and artist. She is inspired by everyday
life experiences. Her journey is going from documentary
photography to conceptual art. Creation is a process that starts
from zero to transform ideas into works of art.

My artwork is “Art Manual”, I used an expired camera
manual to create a new life. It is an upcycling process.
Does art need to be explained? I picked up the sundries
in the room. Time passed, the thick camera manual was
outdated, and the camera model was constantly updated.
In the consumerism, people always chase the updated
model. Everything can be changed. I tried to fold different
sculptural forms. The texts were about photography
randomly distributed. It is a poetic process.
