The Corner Shop at Mondrian Hong Kong presents its latest exhibition, Shell Scapes: Reforming Waste by Redress’ designer in residence, Tiffany Pattinson. Starting September 14, 2024, this performance art piece transforms discarded garments into sculptural creations, inspired by Hong Kong’s connection to oysters – the unsung heroes of climate change.
In a captivating live process, Tiffany sorts, spins, and shapes fabric waste into pearls of artistry, culminating in stunning home goods like rugs and vases. This exhibition highlights the beauty found in what we often overlook, offering a deeper reflection on sustainability, waste, and the environment.
Visit Shell Scapes on select dates to witness the evolution of waste into art, with proceeds supporting Redress’ mission to reduce textile waste.
Exhibition dates: September 14, 15, 21, 22, 28 & 29
Times: 2-5pm and 5:30-9 pm

The Corner Shop’s inaugural exhibition featured the work of Parisian artist Caroline Tronel, whose Giant Crushed Cans installation embodied the power of creativity and individual action in reshaping our relationship with the world. Through her iconic upcycling art, Tronel invited viewers to embrace sustainability and sparked conversations on environmental consciousness.
Following Tronel, sculptor Anton Poon showcased RUBIKS, a collection of painted carbon steel sculptures. Pieces like Lunging, Compass, and Bestowal explored the contrasts between intimacy and distance, complexity and delicacy, inviting passersby to connect their own experiences with each structure. As the day unfolded, the shifting light revealed new dimensions in Poon’s work, deepening its connection to the human experience and the passage of time.
