Yuksek lands in Hong Kong for two-part music & photography series
Catch his ‘Into the Light’ exhibition at Heath (Lane) on May 2–6, followed by a DJ set at Eaton HK’s Music Room on May 9
This May, Hong Kong welcomes the multi-talented French producer, DJ, and visual artist Yuksek for a two-part cultural showcase, blending cosmic disco, photography, and immersive experiences.
Presented in collaboration with Mixmag Asia, Y2K, Tom Ray 先生, Heath (Lane) Hong Kong, and Eaton Hong Kong, the program runs from May 2-9 and showcases Yuksek’s multidisciplinary talents through both an art exhibition and a high-energy DJ performance.
The first event (Act #1), titled: Into the Light, will take place from May 2-6 at Heath (Lane) Hong Kong. The exhibition, which is free and open to all ages, presents a visual and sonic journey through Yuksek’s 20-year music career.
Each photograph is paired with one of his tracks, creating a narrative that reflects his deep artistic curiosity and international travels.
The imagery, shot on silver film, captures fleeting moments and landscapes from the fringes of festivals and urban life, echoing the emotional undertones found in his expansive discography. It concludes with a spin-off event featuring the artist himself.
