itit Cheung: Tomorrow, the Tide Will Rise Again張喆：明天，潮會再漲
Things change shape before they disappear, as ice becomes water. What is kept can outlast what it once held. Underwater, time moves differently. Breath no longer holds itself back; it keeps its own rhythm now, steady, regular, and even, marking the minutes rather than holding them.
Tomorrow, the Tide Will Rise Again is a solo exhibition by itit Cheung, built from the bodily experience of time spent submerged in water and the quiet persistence of ordinary things. Beneath its surface is a question the artist asks of himself, as much as of anyone who enters: what keeps us moving forward, when so much of what moves us cannot be named.
Cheung works from a simple belief. Ordinary things carry more presence than they appear to; quietly, they hold what we cannot say outright.
The exhibition does not illustrate grief or memory. It creates the conditions in which they can be felt.
What holds it together is a single observation. Loss does not end, it changes form; things can be held past their ending. The sea has always risen and fallen, gently, for the moon; and now, it is also rising for other reasons. Perhaps this is the most honest shape we have for how we carry what we cannot put down. The moon pulls the tide without the tide ever knowing why.
Tomorrow, the Tide Will Rise Again is on view at Videotage, Hong Kong, from 22 August to 4 October 2026.
事物在消失之前，會先改變形態，如冰變成水。被留住的，可以比它曾經承載的東西，活得更久。水下，時間流動的方式不一樣。呼吸不再屏住，而是有了自己的節奏，持續、規律、均勻，標記著分秒，而不是把它們留住。
《明天，潮會再漲》是張喆的個人展覽，生長於長時間浸沒在水中的身體經驗，以及日常事物的安靜持續。在它的表面之下，藏著一個藝術家對自己，也對每一個走進來的人發出的問題：當牽引我們的大多數東西都無法被命名，是什麼讓我們仍然往前走。
張喆的創作出於一個簡單的信念，日常的事物承載著比表面看起來更多的存在，本身就悄悄盛著我們說不出口的東西。展覽不是在說明悲傷或記憶，而是創造讓它們可以被感受的條件。
支撐整個展覽的是一個簡單的觀察，失落不會終結，它換了形態，事物可以留在自己的終點之後。海水，一直為了月亮溫柔地漲與退；而現在，它也為了別的原因漲著。這或許是我們承載放不下的事，最誠實的形狀。月亮牽引著潮水，而潮水從不需要知道為什麼。
《明天，潮會再漲》於2026年8月22日至10月4日在香港錄映太奇展出。
