mmmmor, is a short form of ‘miimiimormor’.
mii-mii-mor-mor is a Hong Kongese idiom, describes someone being slow or dilly-dally. We believe that creating delicate work takes time. Slowness, or Langsamkeit in German, and the art of pausing can be powerful assets in today's fast-paced world.

mmmmor studio based in Düsseldorf and Hong Kong, was established by artists Wai Lun Hsu and Lai Ping So in 2013. It operates as a collective for visual art, editorial design, art education, and independent publishing. Central to their practice are artists' books, which serve as both their primary form of expression and a tool for artistic research. Collaboratively, they have published numerous artists' books including ‘At the Time When’ (2024), ‘Between Faces, Stories and Power’ (2023), ‘ flo-o-o’ (2023), ‘The State of Being Vanished (Evanescence) No. 001–003’ (2021), ‘Vanishing No. 002’ (2021), ‘Vanishing No. 003 (Endless) (2021), ‘dok dat dap dap’ (2021), ‘The Rise of Modern China’ (2018/2023). Their works have been exhibited in various institutions and museums.

Lai Ping So (b. 1988, Hong Kong) is a visual artist, editorial designer, and lecturer with interests in artists' books, writing systems, and sound art. Her work explores narrative forms in books, integrating printmaking, drawing, and typography. She seeks to understand the significance of visual scripts and shapes in conveying texts and abstract ideas. So's research investigates the relationship between visual and auditory perception, exploring how sound can be depicted through visual imagery and, conversely, how visual elements can activate sonic experiences. Her artistic practice is grounded in her academic background, which includes an MA in Gutenberg Intermedia from Hochschule Mainz, Germany, and a BA in Visual Arts from the HKBU Academy of Visual Arts. Lai Ping So’s Personal Website ︎︎

Wai Lun Hsu (b. 1989, Hong Kong) is a visual artist whose practice centers on artistic research, photographic and archival imagery, sound art, and artists' books. With an MA in Artistic Research from the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, Hsu's work investigates institutional archives to understand the formation of power structures within our communities. His artistic approach navigates the intersection between the present and specific historical moments, examining how these preserved records, charged with past authority, serve as tools to re-examine contemporary power structures. Wai Lun Hsu’s Personal Website ︎︎
