"Sunset Capsule" (2019) is an individual work from a light installation developed for Chan’s first solo exhibition 'Core Sample' at Capsule Shanghai. The light stand structure resembles the one used by construction workers in Hong Kong out of practicability, turning a construction light into a free-standing light made out of rebars. This kind of construction light can be found everywhere in Hong Kong, usually being placed over footbridges, parking spaces, communal areas, but often completely overlooked by people. In this instance, Chan’s ambition was to give individuality to this ready-made object by inserting concrete casts and colour filters inside the lighting case to create a unique composition for each case. At a closer look, the viewer can discover “micro-worlds” within the work: the concrete cast of white cement and pumice inside the light; construction materials combined with found objects such as discarded bolt heads and crystal pieces from a chandelier. The idea to use orange and amber colours came about when she lived and worked in Zhujiajiao (China) for three months prior of her exhibition at Capsule Shanghai. During her residency there, she became highly aware of the drastic change of light in the mornings and afternoons of a Shanghai winter: the sun would set at around 4 pm - much earlier than in her homeland in Hong Kong - and turned sunlight into something precious that she tried to “catch” as much as possible every day. There was something interesting about the idea of the sun contrasting the cold and dark winter nights, which compelled her to “re-create” an eternal sunset for the winter garden of the gallery. The cold fluorescent construction lights were thus manipulated into an amber light that generates warmth and heat.
