Floating Landscape (Shenzhen River)

流動風景 (深圳河)


2016, Charcoal and Pencil on Wax Paper, Single Channel Loop on TV, 40cm × 70cm, 12'12








Shenzhen River is the border of Hong Kong and China. In Hong Kong near Shenzhen River, most of space is undeveloped mountain, apart from Lo Wu and Lok Ma Chau Control Point. But in Shenzhen near Shenzhen River, most of space is developed areas and residential. 

Actually in Shenzhen, we cannot see the river and Hong Kong landscape clearly. Most of these areas are blocked by railings or are residential we cannot get inside. Only a small section of Binhe Blvd, we can see the other side clearly. I took a video for the view.

I draw the landscape on the video screen. In everyday visuality, we see things without any concentration usually. Video means everyday visuality; drawing means our memory to the landscape seen, which is blurred, floating and unreal. As a Hongkonger, I tried to draw Hong Kong landscape outsider the border. The view is unfamiliar. It gives me a similar feeling of blur, floating and unreality.
深圳河是香港與中國的邊界。香港的邊境大多是未開發的山嶺;而深圳的邊境地區卻是全市最發達的商廈和住宅,但這邊界大多是被圍柵遮住,或是不能進入的住宅區。事實上在深圳很少能看見深圳河和香港的境色,而只有一條名為濱河大道的其中一段路上,可以清晰看到對岸。我為這段風景拍下了一段錄像。

我在這錄像的屏幕上繪畫。在日常視覺中,我們看事物大多都是無意識旳。錄像代表了我們的日常視覺,素描則代表對這風景印象整體化,而素描所畫是模糊、浮動、脫離現實的。作為香港人,我從外地重新看見並畫下香港的土地,然而非常陌生,並有一種模糊、浮動、不真實的感覺。
