Introduction to‘YiiMa’ Art Group
‘YiiMa’, meaning the twins, is an art group formed by Macao artists Ung Vai Meng and Chan Hin Io, which was officially registered and established in 2019.
‘YiiMa’ believes that everything in the context of reality is an open text, symbolising and metaphorising a certain attitude to life, a certain secret, a certain oath, a certain relationship; a trace of desire, a journey, a bunch of lies, a momentary thought... All that is needed is to make a series of on-site interpretations with physical behaviour, so that the absurd scenes revealed by conscience can be transformed into enduring documents.
In 2019, ‘YiiMa’ held its first large-scale work exhibition (De)Construction of Memory at Museu Colecção Berardo, Centro Cultural de Belém, Lisbon, Portugal.
In 2022, ‘YiiMa’participates in the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia with the theme of ‘Allegory of Dreams’ by representing Macao, China, which is also the second important exhibition after the establishment of ‘YiiMa’ art group.
