This volume presents the artistic work of Chun Wai created in France in the 1980s-1990s. Like the exhibition Adrift in Time―Photography by Chun Wai at the University Museum and Art Gallery, The University of Hong Kong, the publication has documentary value as a photographic record of the past and the passing of time.This physical and philosophical journey caused the artist to realize that his insights into the relationship suspended between predestination and chance were leading to an expansive form of loneliness―a state he felt was similar to the torment experienced by the ancient Chinese poets. Chun wandered the streets and alleys of great cultural centres like Paris discovering the collections of its great museums, art galleries and flea markets, along with the vast memories contained within, preserved and passed on through the course of time.此展覽目錄為秦偉 1990 年代於法國的藝術創作之結集,圖片記載著作者對過去及已流逝的時間的回溯,具有文本價值。透過這趟旅程,秦偉深悟人生乃在宿命與偶遇之間,頓感中國古代詩人飄泊孤寂之感。他遊走於文化之都 ― 巴黎,穿梭於街巷、博物館、美術館和跳蚤市場,浪遊於浩瀚的記憶和時間的長河。
本圖冊是源自英文原版Old Hong Kong in Colour(《彩色老香港》)的中文增訂本,除了收錄了二百多張上世紀五六十年代彩色照片外,特別加入一組1948年在華南和香港拍攝的早期極罕見彩色照片。圖冊展示了二戰後,港、澳、粵三地的彩色原貌,包含了今天的粵港澳大灣區的主要部分區域。其中在廣東省境內拍攝的照片,更是解放前,絕無僅有珍貴的彩色影像。讀者可從遊客的視角,重新細味香港五六十年代的街道風貌、山頂下的維港景色、經典地標、寮屋平房、徙置房屋、漁民生活等。還有不少已成追憶的景點,如虎豹別墅、天主教聖母座堂、中英邊境禁區及葡屬澳門的舊區等。除了作照片更新外,編者特別從舊雜誌中挑選有代表性的文章和報道,保留原文輯錄的特色,重現當年民生的實況,希望讀者在欣賞色彩繽紛的歷史圖片之餘,更能跨越時空,感同身受。
人間有情,便有希望 2020年是歷經考驗的一年,疫情席捲全球,亦衝擊香港,社會停頓、經濟重創,本地市民的文娛活動更是寥寥難見。值此黯淡時刻,本書作者鄧予立將過去三百天在瑞士、法國、意大利、奧地利及英國等的所見所聞用鏡頭向我們展示出來,企能像黑暗中的一抹光,照亮疫情之下人們的生活。在歐陸大地行走的300天,透過作者的鏡頭,可以看到無聲無息的病毒給曾經熱鬧的名勝古跡蒙上了孤寂的面紗,熱門景點人煙稀少,路過的人們行色匆匆;但我們能看到更多的是鏡頭之外,這片閑適的大地其實也在閃耀着希望的光,震撼人心的哥德式建築,金光閃閃的雪山之巔,水鄉、名峰、大都會……這一切仿佛都在告訴我們:希望無處不在,黎明正在到來。 Where there is love, there is hope.
