Road signs, plastic pipes
Dimension variable
Road
signs show information of roads that lead us to the destinations. I intend to
expand the usage of them by setting 2 road signs at Repulse Bay which tell 2
different stories. Through them, tourists can understand the Bay from new
perspectives.
Sign of
“History of Repulse Bay”:
Regarding
the year and cause of naming, the ships appeared here, news and plots from
novels and so forth, are marked on the road sign that shows the location of
their occurrence. To compress time, history is presented at the moment.
Sign of
“South of Repulse Bay”:
Whenever
facing the endless coastline, sea breeze with the open atmosphere stimulate
imagination of people. I will mark the nations and places which are the south
of Repulse Bay on the road sign. From the nearest Paracel Islands to the
farthest limit Antarctic. We suddenly have clairvoyance and see beyond the
distance which is about 9636 kilometers.
路牌的功用是作為指出眼前道路資訊，見於各地，導引著人不同的目的地。我打算將路牌能指涉的範圍擴大，在淺水灣的沙地上設立兩個訴說著不同故事的路牌，讓遊客從不同的角度理解此處。
淺水灣的歷史：
由其命名的年分、起因，以至在這裡出現過的艦隻、新聞，及曾描述過這裡的小說情節等，均以路牌標示出其發生的位置。將時間壓縮，將歷史置於當下的時空。
淺水灣的南方：
每當望向無盡的海岸線，乘著海風的同時刺激著人的想像。我將淺水灣南方開外經過的國家、地方標示在路牌上，直至盡頭的南極洲，人像得了千里眼，且距離被縮減至一點，在這一點得到了約9636公里的資訊。
