The filmmaker is a celluloid architect. The cinema creates places that tell us about its builder, its visual universe and the human mind. In Bernardí Roig’s films there are baroque halls, geometric structures, abandoned factories but there is also the desert. These are places evoked and activated by the artist from fragments of his cinematic memory. These infernal and labyrinthine places constructed with images borrowed from the cinematic imaginary mean looking out into the darkest of the mind, the madness of horror and human reason that are so many times the same.

Bernardí Roig. The cinematographic construction of the place presents for the first time in Asia a careful selection of the work of the Spanish artist Bernardí Roig in the field of moving images, delving into the use of cinematographic grammar to build an evocative place, a universe that refers to the work of great filmmakers like Alain Resnais or Luis Buñuel, among others.

The exhibition will take place from September 6th to October 4th, 2019 in Videotage, the very recognized center of moving images, new media and video art from Asia in Hong Kong, and it is curated by Susana Sanz.

The project is supported by the Ministry of Culture and Sports of the Government of Spain. And has the special collaboration of the Es Baluard Museum collection, the Institut d’Estudis Balearics, the Kewenig Gallery Berlin / Palma, Videotage, AFIAS, Spain Moving Images Festival and xd culture platform.

電影人就如菲林建築師。電影創造的空間讓我們認識其創造者、當中的視覺世界與人的心靈。Bernardí Roig的電影有巴洛克式大廳，有幾何建築物，有廢棄工廠，但也有沙漠。Bernardí Roig在光影的記憶碎片中喚起這些地方，使其活靈活現。這些從電影的想像中借來的影像，構成地獄與迷宮般的空間，凝視人類心靈的陰暗面，恐懼的瘋狂與人類的理性很多時是一體兩面。

《Bernardí Roig – 地方的影像建構》為西班牙藝術家 Bernardí Roig 一系列經精心挑選的流動影像作品首次於亞洲展出。Bernardí Roig 的作品深入探索電影語言的運用，以建造一個具聯想性的空間，一個指涉亞倫雷奈、布紐爾等偉大電影人作品之世界。

展覽將由2019年9月6日至10月4日於錄映太奇舉行。錄映太奇以香港為家，為香港極具代表性的亞洲流動影像、新媒體及錄像藝術空間。展覽由Susana Sanz策劃。

此計劃由西班牙政府文化及運動部支持，並與the Es Baluard Museum collection、the Institut d’Estudis Balearics、Kewenig Gallery Berlin / Palma、錄映太奇、AFIAS、Spain Moving Images Festival及xd culture platform特別合作。
