Snowscape by Tim Yip

Snowscape 2013, Kazakstan Print on Hahnemuhle Baryta Paper (framed), 80 x 53 cm “It was a winter day when I took an aerial photograph of an expansive snowfield in Kazakhstan from an airplane.The scene was captured exactly against the light, creating a striking interplay of light and shadow. Zooming in reveals a fascinating detail: the snow was in the process of melting, producing an effect remarkably similar to that of a long exposure.” - Tim Yip This work is part of MIRROR OF THE META: Incredible Reality, a solo exhibition at Asprey Studio by Hong Kong-born artist and art director Tim Yip. The exhibition explores parallel dimensions of reality where myth, memory and technology meet. It offers an intimate, contemplative encounter with Yip’s sculptural works, photography, and a sculptural reinterpretation of a traditional Chinese dress — each piece reflecting the artist’s enduring fascination with how imagination shapes our experience of the world.
