Fong Bin Hospital 1872.jpg

Philippine Vidart

Fong Bin Hospital 1872
Graphite - 10” x 14”

An abandoned hospital, once a shelter for the sick and homeless, now lies in ruin, its decrepit structure a home to the ghosts who roam this area of Cheung Chau. 
However, they are not the only guests whom have settled in since the boats sailed out a hundred years ago. 
The spirit tree hosts a parasite, gradually growing bigger, wrapping itself around its branches and trunk, growing until it is strangled to death. 
On and on the cycle goes, the guest becomes the host, the host becomes the ghost, the ghost becomes the guest…

 

Upavitam
Graphite - 12” x 14”

Follyage
Graphite - 9.7” x 14”

 

Philippine Vidart is a French artist whose artistic practice varies from traditional mediums such as drawing and painting to graphic and architectural design. 

Her work is a portal to a unique interpretation of the environments she grew up in as well as a personal reflection on the trial and errors of her everyday life.

She now resides in Hong Kong where she works as a freelance artist and designer.
