the present
in the future
is the past

“the present in the future is the past” exhibits Hong Kongers’ and foreign visitors’ expression of their connections and narratives concerning eight Cultural Heritage locations, as well as their imagination of how these sites will be transformed and adapted in the future. This multimedia sculptural, AR, robotic, and AI-generated vision of our current connection to Cultural Heritage will be remembered in the future as a document of the past through our present tense.
