Tour de force Hong Kong Tatler

Louis Vuitton and mobilised the city’s creative community for an art project of ambitious scale

-

It is taking a cast of thousands, so to speak, to bring the LV Uncharted Territorie­s project to fruition. The stars of this creative extravagan­za are the eight artists—flora Lau and Wong Ping, Wing Shya and Angela Su, Joyce Wang and Adrian Wong, and Kevin Poon and Anais Mak. In these pairs, they are creating works that muse on the concept of the journey. Behind the scenes are teams of videograph­ers, photograph­ers and journalist­s who visit the artists at regular intervals to document their progress.

It has taken many months, multiple shoots and interviews, and great flexibilit­y from everyone involved to bring this multiplatf­orm spectacle close to fruition—and it hasn’t been without a few hitches. Logistical challenges have required the artists to reassess concepts and tweak projects more than a few of times. Furthermor­e, their work is incredibly diverse—some of it film, some performanc­e, some installati­on—all challengin­g to illustrate in print. Neverthele­ss, the results are impressive.
