In Focus: Kei Imazu features in ‘Thresholds’ at White Cube Hong Kong
Drawing on myth, Kei Imazu reimagines the story of ‘Hainuwele’, the ‘coconut girl’ from the island of Seram in Maluku, who was killed by villagers, yet from whose buried body the earth was seeded and staple crops grew.
In this origin myth, the deity ‘Mulua Satene’ guards the gate to the afterworld: those who pass through remain human, while those who fail to make the journey become animals or spirits.
📍 ‘Thresholds’ reopens at White Cube Hong Kong on 6 January 2026.
