The scene is jarring. A homeless man is slumped with his head upon the table, a half-eaten tray of McDonald’s food in front of him.
But the man, seemingly taking refuge in a fast-food chain, is in fact a plastic dummy, created by local artist Silas Fong as part of a temporary exhibition hosted by Duddell’s, an upmarket restaurant in Hong Kong.
The Michelin-starred establishment has showcased numerous displays featuring local and international artists since it was co-founded in 2013 by Alan Lo, 38. He is a restaurateur and the son of battery-production tycoon Victor Lo, who is chairman and chief executive of Gold Peak Industries, a HK$600m market-cap company.
