From cloud to ground

Instant film, 85 x 54 mm, 2025

In this project, digital photography is not considered as a replacement, an advancement or a rival but as an entirely different apparatus and approach to producing photographic imagery compared to and associated with analogue photography.

Instant film photography once was used to represent authenticity and existence, but it is not any more in the digital generation with all the advancement in technology. In this series of instant film work, the original image is a screenshot instead of a photographical capture of any real object. By creating a series of maze-like digital photographic images on instant films without the use of a digital camera, this project investigates an alternative way of image capturing that interplays between analogue photography and digital photography.

The ramification of this experiment, applying digital photography methods combined with classical photography material, constructed an illusion of a three dimensional space, a multiple layers of empty frame on instant films, that challenges the perception of the viewers, questions the traditional understanding of photographic image making and experiments with a not-yet-be-seen aspect of photography as a form of artistic practice itself.

人在異地，

飄洋過海，

與故土相隔千里。

而今而後，

念念不忘，

唯那不朽香江名句。

Crossing seas and mountains,

I reached a foreign coast thousands miles away from my homeland.

Henceforth,

I keep in my heart the eternal Rock once praised with a song.

繼2014至2016年後，攝影歷史學者、策展人黎健強再度與光影作坊合作，於今年5月開展「歷史的照片．照片的歷史」展覽系列，希望和觀眾一起用歷史角度來看香港的攝影和變遷。

近兩年離開香港的攝影人為數不少，今年以「無論我去到那方：離散者的最後香港影像」為題，由黎健強及資深攝影人楊德銘合作，邀請在2019-23年間離開香港的攝影朋友提供他們最後的香港影像展出：一方面表達了各人自己的情懷，另一方面也成為一個集體的告別式，所以是極具歷史意義的展覽。製作團隊將三十一位參與展覽的攝影人的作品，打印成相近大小的展品，並排陳列於光影作坊的牆壁之上。

黎健強提到，展覽的名字是取自1984年的香港電影《貓頭鷹與小飛象》的主題曲《誰能明白我》中的一句歌詞。歌詞裡追尋理想過程的孤單和信念，與離港的攝影人所選取的作品，兩者所透靈的心情默默地互相呼應。正如黎所說：「照片中或多或少都可以見到一些離愁別緒，在我來說，也希望大家可以在新的家園裡生活愉快，同時發揮著香港人的精神和志氣。」

Following the success of the first series of exhibitions in 2014-2016, photography historian Edwin LAI works again with Lumenvisum for the second series of "Photographs of History, History of Photographs" exhibitions, commencing from 2023. Just like the first series, the aim is to introduce a historical perspective in the looking of Hong Kong photographs.

In view of the considerable number of photographers leaving Hong Kong over the last two years, the new series of "Photographs of History, History of Photographs" opens with an exhibition ─ that is, the fourth exhibition in the whole series ─ respecting this recent development, titled 'Leaving on a Jet Plane: Final Images of Hong Kong by Photographers who have emigrated recently'. Edwin LAI has invited veteran Hong Kong photojournalist Paul YEUNG to join him as co-curator for this project: the two of them contacted those photographers who have departed during 2019-23, for their final photographic glimpses of Hong Kong. Consequently, this exhibition is a showcase of the photographers' individual emotions or personal moments, at the same time a formal occasion of collective farewell.

There are altogether thirty-one photographers who have joined the exhibition. Their works are printed in roughly the same size for display on the walls of Lumenvisum.

《也無風雨也無晴》

展期：2021年6月17日 – 7月29日

地點：香港藝術中心地下至四樓賽馬會展廊 (香港灣仔港灣道2號)

參展藝術家：區灝藍 | Pater HO | 劉德銘 | 施小恩 | 袁雅芝

策展人：何鎮宇

策展人語

「相信對大部分香港人來說，2019年應該是深刻的一年。記錄當年事件經過的影像已經有很多，而我比較有興趣的是，2019年的事件怎樣影響創作人往後的作品及當中的辯證過程。

今次展覽邀請了5位有使用攝影為媒介的本地創作人參展，他們的創作有靜態影像、動態影像和混合其他媒介的攝影作品。兩年過去，是也無風雨也無晴，還是咬定青山不放鬆？」

香港藝術學院展覽系列 @ 賽馬會展廊

這系列包含四個由香港藝術學院學科統籌 / 講師策劃的展覽，分別對應四個主修科目：陶瓷、繪畫、攝影及雕塑。

就展示作品來說，賽馬會展廊或許是一個具挑戰性的空間，然而，這項挑戰正激發了策展人的興趣。香港藝術學院的校友及學員獲邀透過他們具創意的想法及點綴，將這空間轉化為一個充滿實驗性及啟發性的展覽場域。

Words from the Curator

To most of the Hongkongers, the year of 2019 is a profound one. Numerous images recording the year, while my focus is on the influence of 2019 on artistic practices and the dialectic process within.

This exhibition presents five local artists who use photography as medium, including works from still shots, moving images and mixed media photography. After two years, is it a calm mind or a persistent one that stays?

— HO Chun Yu, Jerry
