I Love My Country’s Sky我們都愛祖國的天空
A kiss- a greeting, a gesture of friendship, a declaration of love. So many meanings, and with different cultures, the meaning of a kiss changes.
這一件作品孕育於1997 年,當時我身在英國,對1997 這歷史意義不是有太大的強烈感覺,平時還是照常去唐人街吃吃午飯,逛逛書店。突然有一天,正當我翻閱報紙,發覺越來越多人談論有關中國和香港的回歸問題,而且有很多熟悉的面孔在報紙上出現,都是一窩蜂的說喜愛祖國。那種喜愛的程度和速度令我為之驚歎。正值我在研究一個與 kiss( 親吻 )有關的錄像項目,研究的目的是探討親吻究竟有幾多可能性,故此我邀請了十數位男子盡情愉快、輕鬆、自然地對著鏡頭作出他們最真摯的親吻,而對象是任何一個值得被愛的人、物、事和時。
