Connective Videos: Berlin – Hong Kong 3/6
A collaborative showcase of the Videoart at Midnight Edition (Berlin) and the Videotage Media Art Collection (Hong Kong) video art collections
The third edition of Connective Video will present a selection of works by Morgan Wong (Hong Kong) and Dani Gal (Berlin). Wong’s work explores notions of borders, urban development, and politics, outlining historical contexts and geopolitical phenomena in Hong Kong. The selected works represent Wong’s on-going interest in exploring philosophical questions of space and time. Gal’s works examine the mechanism of re-enacting historical events by using cinematic tools. By reconstructing history artistically, Gal reveals often-overlooked historical facts and questions how meaning and information are typically conveyed in documentary film and mainstream cinema.
Both artists in this program are famous for using video in a particular way that questions conventional narratives. Through the use of various footage and historical imageries, they aim to explore the ways audiences relate to history, time, and space to bring to the forefront larger questions about politics, identities and cinematic imaginations.
The screening and the post-screening discussion will be moderated by Isaac Leung.
Connective Videos
Connective Videos: Berlin – Hong Kong is a new collaborative platform between Germany and Hong Kong, curated by Olaf Stüber (Videoart at Midnight, Berlin) and Isaac Leung (Videotage, Hong Kong), presented by Goethe-Institut Hongkong. The project encompasses the video art collections of the Videoart at Midnight Edition and the Videotage Media Art Collection. In multiple screenings throughout 2018, Connective Videos aims to learn, compare, and reimagine compelling stories told by various German and Hong Kong artists. It will consider histories across various geographical spaces and offer insights into our existing knowledge of video art production and archival practices.
錄像連線：柏林 – 香港 3/6
錄映太奇媒體藝術收藏（VMAC）及Videoart at Midnight Edition的錄像藝術藏品展示
第三回「錄像連線」放映將會呈獻黃榮法(香港)與Dani Gal(柏林)的精選作品。黃氏的作品探討邊界、政治與城市發展等概念，概述了香港的歷史背景和地緣政治的現象。兩件放映的作品都展示了黃氏對有關空間和時間的哲學問題上的反思和興趣。Dani Gal的作品則以電影語言及工具來審視在電影中重現歷史事件的機制。透過藝術形式重塑歷史，他能夠找到一些往往被忽視的歷史碎片，並質疑在主流的電影和紀錄片中，資訊及意義是如何被傳達的。
兩位藝術家同樣以錄像媒介，對傳統的敘事模式提出疑問。通過使用各種片段和歷史圖像，他們希望探索觀眾與歷史、時間和空間的關係，從而引起對政治、身份及電影想像的討論。
與藝術家對談的映後座談會由策展人梁學彬主持。
錄像連線
