Documentation for an artwork + a show
一件作品 + 一個展覽 （記録）
2010
Video documentation, 6 mins 43 secs
This is a work and at the same time an exhibition, thus I name this event an artwork + a show.
The show/artwork ambiguity arises because this is a piece showcasing my experience of a ‘negotiated’ function of the Victoria harbor front.
The interaction between an individual and a place creates many possible ‘negotiated functions’ different from its original function. Instead of drawing people closer, most of the Victoria Harbour front in Hong Kong is distant or with barriers that stop people from staying long.
Despite its not too attractive look, the harbor front near Java Road under the Eastern Corridor offers relatively easy access.
Earlier this year, I set up a table and had a meal there.
On Nov 13, 2010, I staged a come back and set up a mini exhibition, another ‘negotiated function’ that I as an individual can actualize.
這是一件作品，也是一個展覽，因為它既展現一種議定（negotiated)海旁空間的經驗，也展示了不同跟都市海岸有關的作品。
較早前，我在同一地方放了一張枱用餐。
