Art Basel Hong Kong 2023: Good Prospect!2023巴塞爾藝展香港展會:好景!
We are living at the hinge of history – a turning point to reshape our future wisely and collectively for the next generation. Humanity is experiencing a growing cohesion and determination to recover in the post-pandemic era. It is evident that changes need to be embraced and made for healing to take place. Escaping to the virtual world or space colonization might not grant us a brighter future as once believed. It is inevitable to ask ourselves: What brought us into the disaster? What have we overlooked? What are the consequences? What shall we do now? To rebuild the prospect of humanity, we must realize the significance of these questions and tackle them with epiphany, faith, and courage.
Echoing such collective vision, Videotage put together 5 video works from East Asia – across video essays, travelogues, and pseudo advertisement that provides distinct perspectives on perceiving the ever-advancing technology and reminding us of our roles and responsibilities as the citizens of this new world.
我們現處身「歷史的關鍵時刻」——一個讓我們共同並有智慧地為下一世代重塑未來的轉捩點。人們心中的凝聚力與走出傷痛的決心,在後疫情時代日漸萌芽與增強。明顯地,人們開始意識到要療癒就必需接受改變並且付儲實行,同時亦意味著我們不應再寄望逃往虛擬世界或是在外太空另覓新的居所,因為逃避無法創造更好的明天。我們不得不自問:災難是如何發生的?我們錯過了甚麼跡象?我們要承擔甚麼後果?現在應該做甚麼?人類必須了解這些問題的重要性並抱持覺悟、信念與勇氣來作出改變,才能期待未來好景氣。
為呼應這共同願景,錄映太奇匯集了 5 件來自東亞的錄像藝術作品,形式涵括錄像散文、遊記和偽廣告等,提醒人類如何重新認知不斷進步的科技,以及提醒我們作為新世界公民的身份與責任。
