In there, there, Alexandra Noel presents a quietly powerful new body of work that continues her exploration of intimacy, scale, and the fragile intersections of memory, technology, and the body.

Entangled Rhythms: Wing Po So’s Take Turns at Para Site
At Para Site in Hong Kong, artist Wing Po So presents Take Turns, a solo exhibition that unfolds as both a quiet alchemy and a philosophical excavation. Known for her material-driven practice rooted in traditional Chinese medicine, botany, and ancestral memory, So’s latest body of work is a meditative inquiry into transformation—biological, spiritual, and cosmic.
The exhibition’s title, Take Turns, suggests a choreography of cycles—between states of being, between human and non-human, between life and decay. This is reflected in So’s use of natural materials: crushed herbs, minerals, and organic matter are not just mediums but living agents, infused with meaning, memory, and medicinal histories.
