Connective Videos: Berlin – Hong Kong 2/6
A collaborative showcase of the Videoart at Midnight Edition (Berlin) and the Videotage Media Art Collection (Hong Kong) video art collections
The second edition of Connective Video will present a selection of works by Enoch Cheng (Hong Kong) and Lynne Marsh (Canada/Berlin). Cheng’s work is inspired by his grandfather, who immigrated to South Africa in the 1970s. Its mythological narrative explores an intertwined relationship between history, anecdote, and fiction. Marsh’s work situates in a former Soviet airbase about two hours outside Berlin. By using scripts and performance, the work brings about a hallucinatory narrative with a choreography of flights.
Works selected in this program are characterized by unconventional narrative structures that aim to explore the ways audiences relate to time and space. Through the performative use of camera and fragmentary play of composition, both artists explore larger questions about the politics of modern social life.
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 2/6
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
第二回「錄像連線」放映將會呈獻鄭得恩與蓮瑪殊的精選作品。鄭得恩的作品受七十年代移民南非的祖父啓發，以神話式的敍事探索歷史、逸事與虛構的邊界。蓮瑪殊的作品聚焦柏林外的前蘇聯空軍基地，她以演出與戲劇編排，營造出疑幻似真的敍事。
是次放映所選作品都有另類的敍事結構，致力令觀眾發現更多理解時間與空間的新方法。兩位藝術家都透過攝影機的表演性運用和碎片化的玩味構圖，追問現代的社會生活政治的大問題。
錄像連線
「錄像連線」是連繫香港與德國的全新合作平台。活動由香港歌德學院呈獻，由Olaf Stüber(Videoart at Midnight Edition，柏林)及梁學彬（Videotage，香港））策劃，展出錄映太奇媒體藝術收藏（VMAC）及Videoart at Midnight Edition的錄像藝術藏品。「錄像連線」在2018年的多場放映裏，會透過香港與德國藝術家所述說的非凡故事，去學習、比較、再想像。跨越地理空間，省思各自歷史，「錄像連線」期望與觀眾一同創出對錄像製作及收藏方式的新見解。
