Dark 黑暗

I was fascinated by the exceptionally beautiful Hong Kong skyline after dark. Yet behind this exceptional beauty exists some dark creatures that start to move about, even passing us by. Inside this sculpture lies six live poisonous scorpions, a large number of crickets, and some human figurines. The viewer engages in a kind of strange interactivity with the insects inside by peeping into the magnified peepholes. This project explores those fearful or curious feelings generated by those helpless citizens who live under the shadow of violence in the city.

每當我看到香港的夜景也會深深地被它的美麗所吸引及感動。但在它美的背後卻有一些只可活在漆黑的生物開始出動了，甚至與我們擦身而過。此作品內藏有六隻活生生的蠍子及大量蟋蟀和人形玩偶。觀衆透過裝有放大鏡片的小洞觀望箱子內的情況與作品內的生物產生一種互動。此作品探索活在黑色暴力之下的無助市民對城市內所發生的罪案那種驚恐又好奇的心情。
