【關於竹棚】 Bamboo Scaffolding in HK
(English caption below)
個多星期前,突然很想去看看由竹棚搭建而成、十年一度的錦田打醮的建築過程。這一座五至六層樓高的大竹棚以及旁邊的細竹棚,在月初已經開始搭建。及至12月中,花牌、戲偶、粵劇、盆菜宴等等,將會一一進駐,成為錦田的十年例醮勝會。
陸續鋪上鐵皮的大竹棚非常宏偉,置身其內核,你會震懾地感受到這種傳統工藝的美學與功能性的極致,就像當年初次到訪日本看見巨大的寺廟內木製橫樑的構造 —— 縱橫交錯、井井有條、互相承托,是大自然與工藝巧妙的結合。
竹棚是香港作為國際城市的其中一個 unique icon,堅韌而耐熱,多年來曾經幫助這座城市蓋過無數的摩天高樓,更成就了數之不盡卻毫不起眼的小工程。當中靈活的智慧與務實的美學,某程度上亦代表了香港人在狹縫之間生存的本質。
今夏聽建築界朋友談及過,政府將會陸續用鐵架取代竹棚,所以在大埔火災後官方有這樣的口吻,也不為奇。只是希望在未查考事實的真相之前,不要讓竹棚當上代罪羔羊。但願這種傳統工藝能夠在這座城市繼續傳承下去。

在光影與時間的流轉之間,城市的面貌悄然更迭。當IG Pier突然成為歷史、東岸公園漸漸成為新地標時,我們才偶爾察覺,時光正在靜默無聲地流逝。城市的建築層層疊疊,猶如一件佈滿硬殼的外衣。十年之間,香港的天際線或許未有劇變,但經歷了無數城中大事與日常生活的交織下,時地人共同譜寫出一幕又一幕屬於公眾亦屬於個人的香港篇章——這一切,在歲月裡都被快門瞬間定格。
香港的天際線,少不了IFC與ICC這對摩天雙子塔。它們分據維港兩岸的核心地段,猶如香港的兩座燈塔,既是城市辨識度的標誌,更象徵著某種主流價值與精神。攝影師張俊謙(Jeremy)有個小習慣:過去多年,只要在Instagram分享過IFC或ICC出現的照片(無論是主角或是配角),總會加上自訂的hashtag作為歸檔。這次的小型展覽,是一次重新整理這些影像的契機,同時亦回顧這座城市的過去與現在,抽取其中碎片,重新敘述。
對張氏而言,城市攝影是一場來回穿梭於記錄與創作之間的旅程——或有收穫,或只是虛步,但不論結果如何,總能加深他對地方的連結與理解。「時間」與「地方」(TIME & PLACE)經常是張氏創作的主軸,繼《迷失山手線》(2025)、《三秒頃城》(2020)等展覽後,繼續延伸對香港地景的觀察:在一幅2.5x2.5米的牆面上,嘗試混合地域佈局及時間線,運用collage相片的形式,串連這些年間穿梭維港兩岸的零碎影像與記憶。
在陰晴不定的巨塔之城,人來人往是日常,告別與幸會是定數,而景觀卻沒有必然。是日子被生活偷走,還是我們記憶漸變輕盈?在交錯的影像與故事之間,願大家都能找到自己的答案。

光陰 光陰
何以光陰叫作「光陰」?
明亮 與 陰暗
白晝 與 黑夜
無盡的交替編織成廣闊的時間維度
攝影——就是以時間(快門速度)來記錄光暗本身的存在
所以亦可說是以「光陰」記錄「光陰」
不是要刻意浪漫化任何 terms
只想簡單地提醒自己 不要忘記攝影的本質
當我們進入影像普及化
甚至泛濫至價值不斷眨低的年代時
原來認真地記錄仍然可以是一件神聖的事
Spread the light
Revive the human connection
It’s a matter of willpower

Pieces of Hong Kong Hong Kong is never one thing: it is a skyline and a street corner, a hurried commute and a quiet courtyard, a neon-lit night and a rain-washed morning. This exhibition brings together six unique photographic voices to honour that complexity - showcasing how photography can do more than document place. It can interpret it, preserve it, and transform it into collectable pieces of art. May 14 - 17 at @Affordableartfairhk@affordableartfair Featuring works from: @rambler15@stfeyes@jaykhan.photos@chinesewhiskers@_852.carlo@derryainsworth
