Thy Lab
THY LAB is an independent art space in Hong Kong with a focus on visual research, film, performance art, and educational programs. It is home to a collection of Hong Kong home-made movies and family photographs, which constitutes the largest collection of found footage in Hong Kong, comprising 9,000 items donated by local residents.[1][2]
Located in Sham Shui Po, the space is also used as an artist-run squat as it occupies a re-purposed Hong Kong rooftop slum that is turned into a theater with free admission policy.[3] Since 2013, the back alley space has been occupied, reclaimed as a 24-hour open-air public art museum, and renamed as Thy Lane Museum.[4][5]
Hosting screenings, performances, and workshops, THY LAB has produced collectively-authored films and performances, and has trained more than 500 filmmakers and performers.[6] Since 2013, the space hosted international filmmakers, performers, and scholars, notably South Korean filmmaker Kim Ki Duk and Hong Kong actress Maggie Cheung.
