“Sik Zyu Soeng” (Eating along the way) is the opening exhibition of the series “Sik Ji Gei” (Eat yourself) by Au Yeung Ying Chai, the RGB coloured walls along the wooden framed corridors are devoured entirely by the large canvas depicting food related proverbs. Here the audiences have no way to escape from reflecting about the profound questions on morality and humanity through the intrinsic behaviour of eating and speaking both happening within the throat.

A system of ready-made wooden ladder hack climbs, elevates and backs the paintings of a filthy, melancholic and imperfect world to remind visitors to continue living with black humour and careful observation in our remaining ground of chivalry and justice. Existing furniture and bookshelves inside Taste Library are oriented towards the wall of paintings, forcing a dialogue or confrontation between audiences and the profaneness. While the remaining numbers of sofas, lounge chairs and stools are arranged radially in the dark room at the end of the exhibition, visitors experience the final scene with sound devices composed of Hongkongers voices from different non-native background attempting to learn and read the exhibited Cantonese phrases and proverbs to perhaps define a new chapter for the city.
