With Le French May in its course, I don't think any of you would find it out of the blue to be hearing that French artists are flocking into Hong Kong. Herve All, who is (surprise surprise) a French artist, will be here next week to conduct his extensive photographic project, Women Lightscape. This project is about portraying women beyond ethnicity and social boundaries through his camera lens.

His project somehow reminds me of Jeffrey Robb, an English artist, whose Other Sides exhibition in Forest Bird took photography of female subjects to a three dimensional level.

Herve All will be in and out of ArtHK11 throughout next week, so do say hi if you bump into him.
