Waste Not
咕記夜冷
25 September - 23 October 2021
PRESS RELEASE
Artist Statement
My subconsciousness likes to challenge my taste: I like rules, but can be often distracted by disobedient thoughts; I am loyal to rationality and truth, but cannot just let go of stranger things. Collage comes after me unleashing my subconsciousness; it is also a desert island where I can land when drifting between these two states of mind. Through cutting and reorganization, printed images that transcend time and cultures are assembled into novel imageries: some are absurd and ludicrous, some carry on my romanticism, and some may cross the line of what can and cannot be told. Realities are already so complicated and abundant, so why not just make the most use of them? The collage works are made with vintage magazines I collected in San Francisco. Their unique frames are from second-hand shops I visited across Hong Kong.
我一直覺得自己的潛意識很調皮，它喜歡的東西和我日常的眼光稍顯衝突：我很講究規矩，但時常有些離經叛道的念頭；我習慣看向理性和事實，卻也會被光怪陸離的景象所吸引。剪貼是我放縱潛意識後的產物，也是每次當我在兩種狀態之間游移時可以登陸的無人島。通過重新裁剪，跨越時代和文化的印刷圖片被組合成了新的圖像。它們多少有些尷尬好笑、自相矛盾；有的偷偷夾帶我對浪漫的一貫追求，自得其樂；有的可能觸動到無法言說的禁忌，打亂時間維度，無限滋養混沌與迷惘。現實已經如此泛濫複雜，為何不加以重構利用？剪貼的素材來自我過去在舊金山時收集的古董雜誌。造型各異的畫框也是舊物件，是我從香港幾十家二手店里挑選出來的。彼之砒霜，汝之蜜糖。咕記夜冷現已開張，隨便睇吓。

Waste Not is the first chapter of the series Reality Overdose, which gathers three image-based exhibitions, demonstrating individual experiences of how our self-awareness and understanding of life are confined by the realities which we are born into, and how we can use such realities as vessels for authentic self-expression.
Reality Overdose, curated by Yang Jiang, is part of Satellite Exhibitions by Hong Kong International Photo Festival 2021.
「咕記夜冷」是影像系列「我有說話未曾講」三連展的第一章。該系列從個體經驗出發，詮釋了我們與生俱來的自我意識以及對生命的體認如何受既定現實所束縛，而我們又如何將這種現實轉化為全然真誠的自我表達。
「我有說話未曾講」由江小陽策展，是二〇二一年香港國際攝影節衛星展覽計劃的參與項目。
