Abandoned objects collected around 2P Contemporary Art Gallery
Dimension variable
"Collector" explores the relationship between an art space and the surrounding environmental ecology.
When an art space is placed within an everyday setting, it often feels abrupt or out of place—especially in Hong Kong, where the public generally lacks familiarity with contemporary art. People are not only hesitant to step inside, but also unsure how to define it.
Around the exhibition site, I collect discarded objects and rubbish, bringing in what the neighbours have thrown away. Yet this is not merely an aesthetic re-presentation—it is the gathering of your traces here. We rarely leave visible marks of ourselves in public, but could this become a metaphor for your lives, contained within this space?
｢拾遺者」是探討藝術空間與周遭環境生態的關係。
藝術空間設置於日常環境往往會有突兀的感覺，尤在香港，市民普遍缺乏當代藝術知識，既害伯走進它，亦不知道該如何下定義。
我在展覽場地四周撿拾遺棄之物及垃圾，把隔鄰丟掉的東西帶到這裡。然而，這不單單是關於美學的再現，而是你們的痕跡集結在這裡。我們不輕易在外留下身影，但可以由此容下你們生活的借喻嗎？
