「疊」

這輯照片以雙重曝光的方法拍攝,將不同時空的香港和英國重叠起來,串連了我和家人在兩地絲絲點點的生活記憶。

二零一五年九月,我們三人來到英國,一個曾經統治香港156年的國家,給我一種既陌生又熟悉的感覺。英國有不少遼闊的公園,每次看到無際的草原和樹林,都使我想起香港,想起那種被高樓包圍,被擠壓的感覺,也想起了我的家。這感覺驅使我重新走訪和拍下我生活過的地方,我生活過的家。

二零一六年九月,我獨自一人帶著那些已感光的底片回到英國作第二次曝光,再次回到我們生活過的地方,懷念那一年我們一起擁有過的風光與回憶,拍下這物是人非的空間。

“Contrapuntal”

This photo series captures the memories of my family and me. The photos were taken by double exposure. The first exposure was taken in Hong Kong where was under British rule for 156 years and the second one in United Kingdom.

In September of 2015, my wife, my little daughter and I first arrived in London – a city gave me a feeling of both strange and familiar. Hong Kong is just like a copy of this city, but the culture and content is different.

London has more parks and open spaces than Hong Kong, where we are usually surrounded by skyscrapers. The feeling of openness in UK was so different from the feeling of living in Hong Kong, and it evoked my memories of home and the feeling of being compressed. This emotion drove me to revisit and photograph all the places I had lived before, my Hong Kong homes.

In September 2016, I went back to the UK alone with the exposed film to do the second exposure. The feeling of loneliness triggered me to revisit the places that we had been as a family and recorded the scenes and memories that we had before.
