For Trevor Yeung, the life of fighting fish well represents the lifestyle of man in the digital age, immersed as he is in Social Media and constantly under the gaze of others. Fighting fish are aggressive and territorial by nature, for this reason they are raised separately. Most of them come from Thailand, where they are raised in small glass bottles until they are shipped all over the world. Along Goldfish Street in Hong Kong, for example, male fighting fish are kept alone in plastic bags the size of the palm of a hand and hung on racks on display. Trevor Yeung's exhibition reconstructs the stages of the life of a fighting fish: a large bubble nest represents the place where the fighting fish have fun, thousands of glass bottles evoke where the fighting fish are raised, the tanks are the place where the fighting fish put themselves on display. An exhibition that is a metaphor for the loneliness of modern man.
