Wing Shya
About
Following his fine art studies at Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Canada, Wing SHYA (b.1964, Hong Kong) returned to Hong Kong in the early 1990s and founded the design studio Shya-la-la Workshop. In 1997, director Wong Kar Wai appointed him as the stills photographer and graphic designer of the now classic Happy Together and the pair went on to collaborate on many projects, such as In the Mood for Love (2000), Eros (2004) and 2046 (2004), eliciting signature visual expressions which mark the Wong Kar Wai style in a quintessential era of Hong Kong cinema. Apart from films, Wing also shoots for many international fashion brands and magazines. His first self-titled photography book was published in 2017, followed by Chaos in 2020, a collaboration with Japanese art director/graphic designer Tsuguya Inoue.

Overview



Observe outward, immerse inward. A journey for the body and soul through sound and vision.

Wing Shya’s spiritual cleansing and awakening began on travels to the Peruvian Amazon a few years ago with a group of friends. In early 2019, back in Hong Kong, they started improvising music together, where the resonance of the crystal singing bowl, acoustic instruments and human voices coalesced into the unison of the body, the soul and the universe.

Spring 2020 saw the naming of i_is_one, their collective that seeks to bring the ‘simple’ joy of playing music to the world through performances and workshops.

During I, members of i_is_one will lead the audience through a throat-chanting session to awaken the seven chakras, opening new doors to experiences with sound.

 

Please wear comfortable clothing, socks and shoes for sitting on the ground with the musicians (you may also opt for chair seats).
