Collector 拾遺者

Collector, 2012
Abandoned objects collected around 2P Contemporary Art Gallery
Dimension variable

 






































A site-specific installation consists of a stage-like platform comprising a variety of collected found objects including books, chairs, abandoned materials and squashed potatoes cover with dirt sit forlornly on the floor. A composition is contrasted with a pile of wood attached with recomposed objects, leaning against the wall. This metaphorical rearrangement of objects stems from Tang’s interest in reframing the way “things” gets mis/recognized in the context to the absence of a performance and the performer.


「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?
