Trevor Yeung Explores the Poetic Life of Betta Fish in ‘Not a Fighter, But a Lover’
On Goldfish Street in Hong Kong, you can find rows of Betta fish dangling in small plastic bags, organized in neat, endless rows. Many of their journeys begin in Thailand, where they’re farmed in solitude and shipped across the world. Raised for display, these creatures embody a paradox of hostility and beauty, where their inability to coexist with one another is dually defined by their nature and their involuntary confinement.This delicate tension is at the heart of Trevor Yeung’s latest solo exhibition, now on view at Magician Space in Beijing until February 25, 2025. Known for his mixed-media works that often consist of plants and animals, Yeung examines closed systems that dictate behavior and emotion, revealing the artifice of human relations.In Not a Fighter, But a Lover, the artist ...
