This is the catalogue for an exhibition of newly commissioned and existing sculptures by Shuyi Cao and Leelee Chan at Para Site, curated by Cusson Cheng.

'In ecology, entitities exist in mutual dependence and are composites of each other: They share similar DNA, cell structures, and molecules, and remain vital through constant exchanges of materials, wastes, and energies. In this vein, binaries and hierarchies of beings fissure and turn ambiguous; this engenders an uncanny feeling where one finds non-human life forms as strange strangers—familiarly strange, yet so strangely familiar. In this duo presentation titled 'Strange Strangers', New York-based Chinese artist Shuyi Cao and Hong Kong artist Leelee Chan interlace, resonate, and juxtapose their sculptural approaches with one another. Tracing the flows and formative processes of matter, they aestheticise the queerness in ecology to envision how one many relate to the collective of beings in a planetary approach.' - excerpt from the catalogue text
