Kate Cheung is a Hong Kong-based interdisciplinary artist whose practice revolves around slowness, presence, and the perception of time. She approaches slow processes of making and looking as a means of cultivating mindfulness and inhabiting the present moment, seeking to reveal the underlying connections between memories, environments, relationships, and forms of life that may appear separate yet remain deeply intertwined. These inquiries unfold across moving image, installation, thread-based works, artbooks, and writing.
For Cheung, time is not only a subject of inquiry but also
integral to how her works are created and experienced. Long takes, static frame,
and sustained observation allow subtle changes and relationships to gradually
emerge, while the repetitive gestures of stitching, thread by thread, embed the
accumulation of time within the material itself. This awareness of time extends
across her different media, where duration, stillness, and repetition become
ways of tracing continuity and
interconnectedness amid fragmentation. Time thus takes
on a visible and tangible presence, allowing overlooked relationships to
gradually reveal themselves through the act of attentive perception.
Her works have also been shown internationally, with exhibitions and collaborations in Ireland, Italy, Taipei, Thailand and Japan. Besides, she is also one of the co-founder of maison meander.
對她而言，時間不只是創作探討的主題，也是作品創造與被感知的過程。長鏡頭、靜止構圖與持續觀看，讓細微的變化及關係隨時間逐漸浮現；一針一線的縫製，透過反覆的動作，將時間的積累留存於物質之上。這種時間意識亦貫穿她的不同創作媒介，延續、靜止與重複，時間逐漸成為可見、可感的存在，使那些原本容易被忽略的關係，透過時間得以重新被感知。
她的作品亦於國際平台展出，展覽與合作遍及愛爾蘭、意大利、台北、泰國與日本。此外，她亦是 maison meander 的聯合創辦人和策展人。
