In partnership with Eaton HK, “Videos in My Closet: Video Art Selections by Videotage” looks into the Hong Kong LGBTQ+ community through the lens that how artists perform their gender and sexual identities and cultures in front of it. While the LGBTQ+ community is now normalized by the commercial world and consumer market as Pink Economy, the identity politics in Hong Kong has gradually shifted from the focus on social hierarchy to nationalism/localism. The LGBTQ+ community is now apparently walking side by side with the current social movements, but the gender and sexual orientation issues seem to be overlooked in the spotlight for the tension between pro/against the movements. By presenting queer artist videos, “Videos in My Closet: Video Art Selections by Videotage” attempt to explore the alternative expressions of queer identity excluded in the storytelling-based media industry, and also extend the public imaginations toward queers beyond the depictions in mass media.
Curator: Joseph Chen (Senior Project Coordinator, Videotage)

錄映太奇將與Eaton HK合作舉辦「衣櫃裡的錄像：錄映太奇錄像藝術之選」，呈現香港LGBTQ +社群的藝術家如何通過鏡頭表現其性/別身份和文化。LGBTQ +社群現已被商業世界和消費市場納入「粉紅經濟」因而「正常化」，同時香港的身份政治已漸從關注社會階級轉為國族主義/本土主義。 LGBTQ +社群看似與當前的社會運動並肩前進，但贊成/反對運動之間的緊張關係卻掩蓋了性別和性取向的議題。「衣櫃裡的錄像：錄映太奇錄像藝術之選」通過展示酷兒藝術家的錄像，試圖探索以講故事為中心的媒體行業所排除的酷兒身份另類表達，並且擴展公眾對酷兒的想像，超越大眾媒體所描述的酷兒。
策展人：陳敬元（錄映太奇高級項目統籌）
