針孔攝影及聲音裝置
1903年，維多利亞城定名。東起黃泥涌，西至堅尼地城﹔
2010年，維多利亞早已失落在城市不同角落的光影裏。
走在大街小巷，佇著，發現許多久存而無視的遺骸……
讓我們探勘故地所在，觀照記憶虛實的色相，聆聽活埋城市的設想。
這幾個月來，我走訪了維多利亞城的大街小巷，用針孔相片收錄了或被遺忘的光與影，不慌不忙的為即逝時光附上備誌。特此鳴謝李太（鴨巴甸街水果檔）、林先生、阿十、阿七（中培花店）、阿美（嘉咸街水果檔）、陳靜昕、曾栢添（香港建築中心）、廣仔（廣記食店）、蘇先生（城皇街垃圾收集站）、John Batten、Peter Leung、Chris Owens及Donna Scammell為圖片作註釋，想像在捉拿不住的回憶裏，尋找城市裏或忘的段落。
Seeing is Existing– something awesome between spaces and our memories--wen yau
pinhole photography & sound installation
The City of Victoria was established in 1903, spanning from Wong Lai Chung to Kennedy Town.
Nowadays in 2010, the City of Victoria has dissipated in different corners of the city.
Stroll around and hold back; breathe in the intangible remains of time.
After all, memories are as slippery as light and shadow, and substances are flashing as fast as sound…
In the last few months, I have been strolling around in places which used to be named the City of Victoria and collecting light and shadow of things that have existed for long but we may have missed. I enjoyed very much the process of pinhole photography which allows me to slow down and accentuate the transience of our reminiscences. Special thanks to Chris Owens, Donna Scammell, Graham Street, Gutzlaff Street, Janet Chan, John Batten, Kwong at Kwong Kee Food Shop, May at Fruit stall, Mr Lam, Mr So at Shing Wong Street Refuse Collection Point, Mrs Lee at Fruit shop in Aberdeen Street, Peter Leung, Platteen Tsang at Hong Kong Architecture Centre, Ten & Seven at Flower Shop, who have contributed their interpretations to the recollection of places in these pictures. Reminiscences of our city are never as viable as what we see, with vivid semblance of the discarded history.
