From 10th January 2012 Amelia Johnson Contemporary is thrilled to present an exciting initiative, The Third Eye Project. Featuring the video, projection and installation work of three international artists this series of installations will take place over three months and present three very different artistic responses to Hong Kong.

Opening the project will be Barry Jacques’s video projection work "DOUBLE (DOUBLE)" Shot over a period of one year this work attempts to capture and relay some of the frenzied activity that takes place daily on the highways, waterways and high rise urban housing complexes of Hong Kong. By using various technical simplicities such as mirror imagery and the speeding up of the film Jacques abstracts these mundane activities into poetic and broodingly beautiful arcs of light and movement. David Smith’s powerful and haunting music adds weight and gravitas to Barry Jacques dramatic visuals combining to create an uniquely inspiring ode to Hong Kong.
