Landing on the East

2021-2024
一個以太空人身分作聯想的登陸計劃，月球的引力影響著潮汐，考察我們沒有認知的香港。
拍攝邊境荒蕪的東平洲、遊人滿佈的岸灘，
拾取被遺下的棄置物。
作品由攝影、錄像與裝置組成，
透過物證、小島和月球互相穿插，
營造一個異度的視覺空間。
潮起潮落，「太空人」再度升空。
‘Landing on the East’ is the first thematic exhibition by Tang Kwong San and Yuen Nga Chi.
An astronaut-associated landing project in which the gravitational pull of the moon affects the tides and examines a Hong Kong we never know.
Photographing the deserted borders of Tung Ping Chau, the tourist-filled beaches, and picking up abandoned objects. Using negative photographs to simulate the environment of space and the texture of the moon, the artists documented the impact of the local smuggling history and current situation.
The stowaways have already become Hong Kong residents. 1997 is a time when British colonial Hong Kong and Chinese Hong Kong overlapped, once again, facing a change of identity and a wave of immigration. The artists searched keywords ‘Hong Kong's Handover’ on a second-hand online platform and acquired souvenirs of handover from 1997 to the present day. The traces of time and age of the objects can be discovered through lens, they are the evidence of 23 years-experience.
The exhibition consists of photography, video and installation, creating an otherworldly visual space through interspersing with objects, islands and the moon. As the tide rises and falls, 'astronaut' lifted off again.
