錄像裝置/彩色/無聲43分鐘

在上環荷里活道工作一年多,午飯時間,我常看到一些工人在隱敝的街巷中,三五成群抽着煙、躺着。他們忙裏偷暇,享受着僅餘的自由時間和空間。我嘗試將上班一族的私人空間、時間、人物、對話和我對他們的想像重現,尋找社群中現實和理想的生活及城市空間。

Working in Hollywood--Silas Fong
Video Installation/Colour/No Sound43 mins

Working for a job at Hollywood Road in Hong Kong for more than a year, I often see workers taking rest from their very hard works. They are smoking, lying down and chatting at some hidden alleys. These might be their real moment and space of freedom in their daily lives.
In search of the community in workers’ realistic and idealistic livelihood, I try to represent their private space, time, characters, dialogue (monologue) and my imagination driven.
