Top 10 Hong Kong Gallery Shows During Art Basel in Hong Kong
By: Payal Uttam
5. Alex Prager, Lehmann Maupin, March 12–May 16
It's only fitting that Alex Prager's first show in Hong Kong—one of the most densely populated cities in the world—consists of cinematic crowd scenes. Confronting her own agoraphobia, the Los Angeles–based photographer shoots from unnerving vantage points, thrusting viewers into claustrophobic yet compelling settings. She will take over Lehmann Maupin with large, hyper-saturated photographs and an engaging video piece featuring American actress Elizabeth Banks.
