Karen Yu is a percussionist, sound artist, and curator based in Hong Kong whose work explores the intersections of sound-making, audience engagement, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Drawing from her background as a classically trained percussionist, her creative practice centers on improvisation with sound objects and bodily movement, examining how sound weaves people and spaces together through collaborative experiences. She is currently the artistic director of Contemporary Musiking Hong Kong, co-founder of the chamber percussion ensemble The Up:Strike Project, and an associate musician of the Hong Kong New Music Ensemble. Serakai Studio presents Memory & Punishment, a sound installation by the artist and musician Janice Laujan (@islaujan), lead vocalist of the noise band DAVID BORING (@davidboring__). Bearing semblance to a garden, Memory & Punishment is a self-contained world of sound, mind, and body, seemingly caught in the process of metamorphosis between what is natural and alien. At its core, Memory & Punishment emerges from a simple observation: there are remarkably few spaces in contemporary life that offer a place where challenging recollections may simply be inhabited rather than summarily resolved. Shame, grief, and other such unpleasant emotions are usually relegated to the private realm and remain largely invisible. Conceived as a social environment beyond home and work, the garden suspends the ordinary relations that structure daily life, offering a place where unresolved memories can be embraced.
