About the exhibition

Serene and Bobby have both travelled to North Iceland last summer to participate in an artist-in-residence programme. Surrounded everyday by boundless landscapes and contradistinctive culture to that of their hometown, they are much impressed and inspired. The Icelandic experience has transformed their perception – as a dimension convertor – to establish a new comprehension of different aspects in life. In half a year’s time, they put together ineradicable memories from the journey in this exhibition, where their inspiration and sentiment are meant to be revealed.

Serene Hui’s works revolve around the abstract perception of time and its implication. In summer months, white nights occur in places situated in the Arctic Circle. The concept of time vanished when the sun remains visible for the full 24 hours. Having been resided in such atmosphere, her perception has become as delicate as it can be, especially to personal ideologies and the pace of passing time. Exclusive features in Iceland such as the black sand and the mid-night sun are manifested as a portal to visualize the psychological experiences that go beyond the physical. The works as well address a possibility of latent escapism afforded by altered perception.

Yu Shuk Pui Bobby has played with the waterfall in Olafsfjordur of North Iceland. Her body assimilated into the Icelandic landscape, through the GIF of the loop function, resulting in admirable imagination: Breakthrough the boundary of human body, but also return to mother of nature.

展覽簡介

許思樂和余淑培去年分別以藝術家駐場計劃的原因在冰島同一小鎮度過了夏天。截然不同的文化、廣闊無垠的自然景觀都令他們嘖嘖稱奇,顛覆及擴闊了對生命中不同範疇的認知。兩人由此獲得一把靈活的「間尺」。相隔半年時間,二人將難以忘懷的經歷重整及疏理,成為是次展覽的脈絡。

許思樂的作品圍繞對時間這抽象概念的感知和聯想。適逢夏天,北極圈內的高緯度國家進入永晝的模式,夜如白晝,使他陷入一個遺棄了習以為常的時間觀念的思維和生活。作品的實際呈現是思想上的伸延,選取了當地獨有的元素-黑沙和午夜陽光,量化對時間和生活的體會,留予觀眾揣摩感受

余淑培則與瀑布遊玩。將身體融入冰島風景,透過動態圖的循環播放功能,造成美妙的想像:突破人體的框架,又返回大自然母體。

YU Shuk Pui Bobby 余淑培

余淑培(Bobby)出生于香港。大多創作採用裝置和行為。作品曾於香港,内地及海外展示。關注性政治及女性剥削,不滿女性在媒體,文化和日常生活不斷商品化,嘗試賦予女性一種新的主體意識。

Born in 1994, YU Shuk Pui Bobby based in Hong Kong, working across a wide range of media including installation and performance which sustain a preoccupation with sexual politics and female exploitation. Annoyed and amused with the incessant commodification of women in media, culture and everyday life, seek to impart an aspect of subjectivity to the female object.
