nearly stumbled over the silicone replicas of breasts on the floor as I walked into the group exhibition “Yummy Gummy” at Hong Kong’s Tomorrow Maybe in 2019. Titled (2015), the work was multimedia artist Bobby (2017), for which she filled in a decade’s worth of applications for the Miss Hong Kong Pageant to see if she fits each year’s requirements, which include being unmarried, not pregnant, and childless. Yu’s playful works prompt us to rethink how perceptions of beauty are tied to mass culture.
