Lap-See Lam

Artist Lap-See Lam (b. 1990) is creating a new large-scale installation for her upcoming solo exhibition at ARoS. Step into a sensory karaoke universe shaped by fragments and archival traces. The exhibition takes its starting point in Bamboo Palace , a karaoke bar and restaurant run by members of Lam’s family in Hong Kong from 1988 to 1991. Drawing on photographs, archival material, and 3D scans, Lam approaches reconstruction as a form of transmission – exploring how places and their stories can shift, transform and take on new forms. Born in Stockholm in 1990, Lap-See Lam works across genres and disciplines, from video installation to live performance, blending contemporary technology with traditional references and methods. In 2024, she represented the Nordic countries at the Venice Biennale with the critically acclaimed installation The Altersea Opera . The exhibition is curated by Ellen Drude Langvold. The exhibition is supported by Augustinus Foundation and The Robert H.N. Ho Family Foundation Global. Research travel was supported by Hart Haus, Hong Kong.
