THE HARTZ PROJECT is pleased to present Even Though I Forgot My Name, the inaugural exhibition at its new gallery space at M PLACE in Hong Kong. Opening on 18 July and running until 29 August 2026, this group show features seven Asian female artists: Yongqi Tang, Liu Xin, Xiangjie Rebecca Wu, Kyungmin Jean Lee, Alexis Jang, Ruxin, and Goyona Jung. The exhibition explores the intricate geometries of self-discovery, questioning what remains of the soul when external noise fades and the labels we carry dissolve.
It is about a journey inward to the center of being. We do not seek definition; we seek essence. Operating on the philosophical threshold where the social self ends and the true self begins, shedding our given names is not an act of erasure, but a profound awakening—a return to an untamed, eternal truth.
The exhibition weaves a collective dreamscape across various distinct spiritual coordinates of self-exploration. It begins within the ether of memory, where artists crystallize fleeting emotional currents and nostalgic anchors, tracing the invisible threads that tie our current souls to past spaces. Then it moves deeper into the subconscious gateway, utilizing the surreal topography of dreams to dissolve the boundaries of logic and unearth the raw, luminous realities hidden in our sleeping minds. It also grounds itself in the primal pulse of existence, framing the instinctual, boundless sanctuary of maternal love as a cosmic force—a pure, elemental proof of being realized through the act of nurturing.
To lose our place in the material world is to find our home in the cosmos. We welcome you to forget who you were told to be, and simply remember that you are.
