Using image, sound and installation as her mediums of preference, and adopting the methodology of field study and collecting, Law Yuk-mui intervenes in the mundane space and daily life of the city. Her works seizes the physical traces of history, psychological pathways of humans, the marks of time and the political power in relation to geographic space. Law often digs beyond the surface, through which she would recover fragments of narratives and micro histories. She is also sensitive to remnants in the art making process and finds imaginative ways to re-use and reactivate these things.
Law Yuk-mui graduated with an MFA from The Chinese University of Hong Kong. She is the co-founder of the artist-run organisation Rooftop Institute. Her work has been exhibited in Asia extensively and she was shortlisted for the Foundwork Artist Prize and received The Awards for young artist (media art category) of Hong Kong Arts development Awards and the Excellence Award (Media Art Category) of the 23rd ifva Awards in 2018.
