From Dust to Light光散落在四處
Light scatters in all directions, allowing us to see the shapes, colours, and textures around us. Its presence marks the passage of time. Dawn, noon, dusk, and the moon each brings different hues to the sky. Light illuminates the present, scattering across our minds to form memories that coalesce, swirl, accumulate, and eventually fade. We capture light through images, hoping to preserve its fleeting glow. Yet when we revisit these images, can we rekindle the light and shadows of those moments past? How can we retain the warmth that once accompanied light?
Videotage invites two local artists, Colbie Fung and Jess Lau, to explore the relationship between memory and imagery in a duo-solo exhibition. Both artistic practices centre on themes of time and memory—one by connecting second-hand recollections, the other by engaging with time through her own physical presence. This exhibition presents their latest works, reflecting on the interplay between visual and sensory memories. Fung climbs a tree she once feared as a child, using a portable scanner to capture close-ups as she experiences the tree bit by bit. Lau, having accompanied her father through cataract surgery, explores the body’s reception of light, imagining how he perceives his surroundings through a foggy veil.
In the dim exhibition space, the light captured by the artists re-emerges as an interweaving, waiting to morph into memories of others. Light enters our visions, becoming fragments of memories—sometimes flashing, sometimes fleeting, scattering everywhere.
光散落在四處,讓人看見周遭的形狀、顏色、紋理,其所在使我們感知時間的變化。黎明、正午的太陽、黃昏、月亮,各自牽引著不同的天色。光造就當下,並散落在腦海中,形塑著記憶,在往後的日子裡沉澱、翻滾、累積、消失。我們依賴影像記錄眼前的光,試圖留住它,然而,翻看影像時,又能否重新感受那些早已消失的光影?而光以外感受過的溫熱,又該以甚麼的方式來承載?
錄映太奇邀請兩位本地藝術家馮可貝與劉清華,以雙個展的形式探討記憶與影像的關係。她們的藝術實踐均圍繞時間及記憶,有搜集二手記憶作串連,亦有以身體演繹時間的創作。是次展覽展出二人的最新創作,思考視覺記憶與其他感官記憶的關係。馮氏攀爬兒時未敢觸碰的樹,以手提掃描器捕捉近鏡,同時讓身體一步一步地經歷巍然的樹。劉氏從陪伴患有白內障父親的手術過程,探討人體內接受光線的組織,想像父親在霧茫中如何感知周遭。
漆黑的展場裡,二人經歷過的光交錯重現,等待被轉化成他者的記憶。光進入視野,成為印象裡的碎片,偶有閃過,或在不經意間略過,散落到四處。
