The exhibition precedes Asprey Studio’s participation in Art Basel Hong Kong 2026 (25-29 March), where works by Tim Yip will be presented within Zero 10, Art Basel’s new curated initiative of the digital era. The exhibition at the gallery explores parallel dimensions of reality, where myth, memory and technology converge.

Whereas the Art Basel Hong Kong presentation will focus on video works and the monumental 4.5-metre sculpture Lili, engaging with a dystopian discourse on humanity, nature and technological transformation, the exhibition at Asprey Studio offers a more intimate and reflective register.

It brings together sculptural works, photography, and a sculptural transposition of a traditional Chinese dress, exploring a private and secular sphere. Together, the works in Incredible Reality form a meditation on myth, technology and perception, positioning imagination as a vital space where past and future, virtual and physical, continue to intersect.

Photography plays a central role throughout the exhibition, stemming from the artist’s travels, reflections and imagination. Black Lake (2003), photographed inside a Balinese temple, captures a crystalline body of water disrupted by a dark mass rising from below, evoking ritual, myth and the uncanny. There Wonderland (2019), taken near the Arctic Circle in Norway, documents a moment of disorientation amid fog and shifting waters, shaped by the visible effects of climate change. City on Land (2005), photographed mid-flight over Spain, reflects on the transformation of perception brought about by aviation, rendering urban space as an abstract map of modern civilisation. Humming (2018), photographed in Kamakura, finds order within apparent chaos, revealing Yip’s enduring fascination with subtle rhythms and abstract structures embedded in the natural world.
