Jess Lau / 玩具展 – 下雨天的城堡 A Castle for the Rainy Days: toy show “Toy as Medium”

FP member Kelvin Lam’s “castle on rainy days” and Jess Lau’s “pirates’ boat,” “extreme environments” and “ET arriving” mark many HK children’s fantasy play with space or the lack of it. To reproduce these childhood experiences in FP WIP opening 20 Nov 2016, what are they going to show us?
