  "account": "Ellen Pau, a pioneer of Hong Kong's video art scene, explores the city's ever-changing landscape in her 1988 video installation \"She Moves.\" This piece, now a centerpiece of a United States survey exhibition at SculptureCenter, masterfully uses water as a symbolic motif to represent the city's perpetual state of flux. As viewers enter the installation, they are greeted by a range of works that delve into the themes of loss, preservation, and transformation, all while evoking the essence of Hong Kong itself.",
  "summary": "In her first US exhibition of the video art pioneer, water’s changing states become a metaphor for the city.",
