Not About Slow Pace 與慢無關
(10 min 18sec 2016)
When the artist first arrived in Wuhan in 2016, he saw the speed of the city's development with its towering skyscrapers. That inspired him to question what 'speed' mean. Such a simple question led to further questions on a number of issues facing our society as a whole. The video in the installation was taken in 2014 at Causeway Bay, Hong Kong, one of the busiest intersections in the world. The video is played in slow motion to immerse audience in an almost religious ambience, to allow them to deeply experience the power of a slower pace that might be missing in their day to day life.
視頻圖像拍攝於2014年, 來自香港銅鑼灣, 一個人車高度密集穿梭的十字街口. 當2016年藝術家身處武漢, 看到整個武漢高樓聳立的速度, 引起藝術家對速度的思考. 速度到底意味著甚麼? 這種簡單的追問折射出對整個社會層面諸多問題的考量. 作品中藝術家將視頻的速度減緩, 把觀眾帶入一種具有宗教色彩的影像空間, 使觀者體驗慢的力量帶給心靈的特別觸動.
