Star Dust, 2022.

Sculptural object

Exhibited at 1a space booth, Art Basel Hong Kong 2023. 

​

Star Dust belongs to the series of the research-based art project, Data Collecting (Universe) for the historical site, Oil Street in Hong Kong. Starting with found objects, a series of sci-fi symbols that resembles these objects has been created to respond to the historical context of the site. One of the conceptual approaches behind the ownership transformation of this work leads to the question about the counter narrative and collective imagination of historical sites in the urban city. This work reflected the process of the mediative observation of the site and the awakening journey of the collective imagination through the new discoveries of the site during the project.

作品星塵是《宇宙數據接收中》研究計劃中的其中一件現成物雕塑。該計劃以香港歷史建築物－油街的現成物作為想像的開端，在虛構的聯想與歷史遺物之間創造新的科幻符號來回應特定場域的歷史脈絡。透過轉換此系列作品的擁有權不但能延伸其研究與創作的概念，還能讓我們再次發問歷史空間與反敘述和集體想像中虛構與真實的關係。這份作品反映了在創作期間於歷史空間中的靜觀過程，以及透過集體想像所衍生出的不可言喻的內在旅程。
