工業光寂 — 夜地景
Industrial Solitude: Night Topographics
我採用客觀而冷靜的視角，捕捉香港城市邊緣在夜晚時段被人造光源重新塑造的工業區。在這些畫面中，人造燈光本身形成了一種新的地貌 —它們既具實用性，又成為了人類改變環境的一種表現。作品受到「新地形學」（New Topographics）啟發，但與傳統的新地形學略有不同的是，有工作人員偶爾出現在某些場景中，他們不一定是故事的主體，而是工業景觀中的一部分，襯托出工業結構的龐大和個體所感受的孤獨。黑白照片則強調場景的光影效果及幾何形狀，突出夜晚固有的冷漠、隔離和寧靜。
I photograph Hong Kong's outlying industrial districts remapped by artificial light at night from a detached and objective position. Artificial light in these photographs is a new kind of landform — both functional and expressive of human-altered landscapes.
Inspired by New Topographics, the photography also delivers a subtle but important twist: individuals occasionally appear in some of the environments. They are not so much narrative figures as part of the industrial landscape, emphasizing the scale of structures and the aloneness of the individual.
Black and white photography serves to highlight the light and shadow play and graphic quality of the scenes and augment the inherent dispassion, isolation, and silence of the night.
