For us, art is a ( )way of interaction.
Thank you to every old and new friend who shared your ( ) on the carbon-copy paper cards “cc’ed” to you. We will carefully keep your original copies, so that in future projects, they may continue to be copied and written into. For now, let us also cc everyone’s ideas to one another 📩
Thank you to Ima Collab @imacollab for hosting the 2nd edition of “Walnut Street Performing Arts Bagel” which offered creators a platform to share their upcoming large and small projects. Taking this opportunity, cc’ed also shared a creative presentation project, planned for around the middle to end of this year, exploring crossings between cities and mediums. Independent creative units based in different cities will come together for a joint presentation, details will be announced soon, please stay tuned! :“)
場域特定告別式
展場內的最後一件作品《割讓回轉》(Rewind Ceded)(2025年)是一組由三部陰極射線管電視組成的三頻錄像,亦是唯一一件與真實公路景觀對照的作品。此刻映入觀眾眼簾的是包圍整個空間,落地玻璃之外的青山公路,與三位一體的電視機組合。兩部對立的電視機分別播放著車子由青山公路駛往展場時左邊的片段,以及想像車子離開展場駛返青山公路時右邊的片段;正面觀眾的電視機則播放著車尾的影像。猶如車倒後鏡所觀看到的三個角度,影片旁白講述著乘坐交通工具於公路上奔馳的個人與第三身體驗,以及各種描述展場位置的方式,卻從未提到大廈本身。展場內看到的青山公路、與玻璃上的電視機、和觀者的倒影三方堆疊,凝視從眼前的景象返回自身,彷彿現在、過去、與不確定的未來,與模糊的記憶都潛在地無限交錯,通通在此刻臨到,叫我們在覆疊的時空中感受當下,並觀看那些處於我們之內的地方與連繫。

A site-specific farewell
The final piece in the exhibition, Rewind Ceded (2025), comprises a three-channel video installation made from three cathode ray tube televisions and is the only work that directly references real road landscapes. The audience unfolds a panoramic view of Castle Peak Road outside the floor-to-ceiling glass, combined with the trinity of televisions. Two opposing screens play left-hand-sided footage of cars travelling towards the exhibition space from Castle Peak Road and imagined footage of cars leaving the exhibition to return. The central screen displays the rear view of the vehicles. This setup resembles the three perspectives seen in a rearview mirror, while the narration recounts personal and third-person experiences of travelling on the road, as well as various ways to depict the exhibition’s location, yet never mentions the building itself. The interplay of the visible Castle Peak Road, the televisions, and the viewer’s reflection creates a layered experience, urging us to reflect on the current moment, past, uncertain future, and blurred memories—intertwining infinitely in this instant, allowing us to feel the present and to observe the places and connections that exist within us.

備忘錄
攝影書《(渡)港口》((Pass) Port)(2022-2025年)置於展場角落的枱面上,利用傳統文件檔案夾的粉紅紙作為封面,包裹著竺的個人與地方檔案。最初,青山公路作為港英政府與中國劃分地域的其中一條界線而存在,其後慢慢加建成全港最長的公路貫穿九龍新界。一個地方因著不同的事件與使用方式而得以定義,那人的身份又因著甚麼而被體認與確立?竺把從2022年開始收藏有關自身與香港的物件彩色掃描,穿插其黑白攝影,組織自身與地方的關係。收藏與攝影的動機在某種意義上可謂不謀而合,可以是珍而重之、或幫助憶起、亦可以是害怕失傳、或非得把稍瞬即逝的一刻留住。這或許是人在意義失喪、歷史被官方壟斷的時代裡,為自己建立的備忘冊子。

Memoro
Placed on a table in the corner of the exhibition, the photo book (Pass) Port (2022-2025) uses pink paper reminiscent of traditional document folders as its cover, containing Chuk’s personal and local archives. Initially, Castle Peak Road served as a boundary delineating territory between the British colonial government and China, later evolving into Hong Kong’s longest road connecting Kowloon and the New Territories. A place could be defined by various events and usages, and how is a person’s identity recognised and established in any way? Chuk began collecting and colour-scanning objects related to himself and Hong Kong starting from 2022, interspersing them with black-and-white photography to reorganise the relationship between self and place. The motives for collecting and photographing, in a sense, converge; they may be cherished, help with recollection, stem from a fear of loss, or a desire to preserve fleeting moments. Perhaps this serves as a memo for oneself in an age where meaning is lost and history is monopolised by the official.

六/十晚談~
展場內的視角稍稍調整,攝影系列《平水》(Water Level)(2025年)拍攝的是竺從展場大廈沿着青山公路往上坡走時經過的公路片段。他在拍攝過程中遇到了掌握畫面平水的難題,促使他思考的一個問題:在斜坡上的電燈柱平水跓足何處?那是一種緣著地平面的水平,還是緣著地心的水平?照片於場內的擺放呼應其觀看的視角,展示他於斜坡路上掌握畫面與自身的平水。

6/10 Nights of talks~
Shifting the perspective slightly, the photography series Water Level (2025) captures segments of the road Chuk traverses uphill along Castle Peak Road. During the shooting process, he grappled with the challenge of achieving a level view, prompting him to ponder: what constitutes a level on a sloped road—the horizontal plane of the Earth or that of the Earth‘s centre? The arrangement of the photographs within the exhibition echoes Chuk’s perspective on the road, showcasing the water level between the scenery and himself while navigating the slope.

七月颱風下的公路景觀記憶
自動旋轉重播的幻燈片機《景觀記憶-青山段》(Landscape Mnemonic - Ching-shan)(2024-2025年),於漆黑空間內投影著竺諺民從凌晏5時到晚上7時,14個小時內在空間中一隻窗框內可見的影像。舊式幻燈片機一格一頁的播放著,播放的聲響如節拍交織空間內海浪般的車聲,光容讓我們認真觀看一瞬間的輪廓,如實重現竺這一年間於窗子前的觀看方式。我們在有限的時間內反覆觀看與回應同一景像,可會累積到新的經驗與視覺,找到重新理解自身與眼前一切的關係?

The Landscape Mnemonic under mid summer typhoon.
The automatically rotating slide projection Landscape Mnemonic - Ching-shan (2024-2025) casts images visible through a window frame in a dark space, depicting Edwin Chuk's observations from 5 PM to 7 PM over 14 hours. The old-fashioned slide projector plays each frame with sounds echoing and interwoven with the rhythm of waves like traffic sound inside the space, while light allowing us to gaze at the contours of a moment, faithfully recreating Chuk's viewing experience over the year. As time flows moment by moment, we repeatedly view the same scene within a limited timeframe—could this lead to new experiences and visual insights, helping us to re-understand our relationship with ourselves and everything before us?

《那個我們都不曾記得的地方》(The Place We Have Never Remembered)(2018年),作為步入展場的首件作品亦是竺諺民探討「非地方」的起點,立刻便把觀眾拋進了熟悉不過卻異化的通道。利用照片後期操控(Photo manipultion)的方法,把影像中可閱讀到的各種資訊剔走,製造出似曾相識卻佰生的觀看經驗,強調人與地方日常死板且含糊的「交流」。

The Bass of Quotidian has officially opened, welcome to book your viewing~
The Place We Have Never Remembered (2018), as the first piece of work upon entering the exhibition, which is also Edwin Chuk’s starting point for exploring non-place. Immediately immerses the audience in a familiar yet alienating corridor. Utilising photo manipulation techniques, it removes various readable information from the images, to create a sense of déjà vu, emphasising the mundane and ambiguous “communication” between people and places.

cc’ed(2025年4月組於腦海,現居牛刀)的cc 即副本(Carbon Copy),由陳雅瑩 @cecicnyyyy 及竺諺民 @chukyinman 創立。在還沒有影印機和電子郵件時,使用碳紙複寫、轉播的媒介;其後成為發送電子郵件時常見的抄送功能,cc’ed意即「已抄送給你」。cc‘ed 將於正本(作品)與副本(觀者)之間進行多次復寫,有待復寫關於創作、評論、觀看、經驗,並將其抄送、轉播,藉此展開更多的討論及復寫之復寫,最終回歸生活的( )家組合。
cc’ed (spring to mind in April 2025, currently experimenting) refers to Carbon Copy, founded by Cecilia Chan @cecicnyyyy and Edwin Chuk @chukyinman . Before the advent of photocopiers and emails, carbon paper was used as a medium for replication and transmission; it later evolved into the common ”cc“ function in email correspondence, cc’ed meaning ”copied to you.“ cc’ed will engage in multiple layers of rewritings between the original (the work) and the copy (the viewer), revisiting and exploring ideas of creation, commentary, observation, and experience. This process will be shared and disseminated, fostering further discussions and layers of rewriting, ultimately returning to the life of this ( ) duo.
