黃榮法以他大澳家火災後剩下的木柱,透過聲音藝術裝置重現因大火摧殘而被遺棄的棚屋。 黃透過此作品表現他對他的家及傳統家庭觀念的懷念。被燒過的木柱象徵著被摧毀的家,以及因家中長輩逝世而變得疏離的家庭關係。透過讓觀眾體 會去世的人回到自家聆聽家人的日常生活,藝術家以觀眾完成了整件作品,從而令人重新思考「觀眾」與「作品」是否兩個獨立的個體。 黃榮法(生於1984年)是一位香港媒體藝術家。他曾獲第13屆香港獨立短片錄像比賽(單螢幕互動媒體類別)銀獎。他的作品亦曾展覽於香港藝術 館及於台北南海藝廊舉辦的第9屆台北詩歌節。 http://art.wongwingfat.com Sound installation: “Once You Were Here” Opening: Exhibition date: Venue:

With a sound installation built with the remnant of his fire-damaged house in Tai O, a fishing town in Hong Kong, Morgan Wong Wing-fat recreates the scene of an abandoned and burnt stilt house. The work is a representation of Wong’s nostalgia for his home and traditional family value. The charred wood symbolizes the demise of a house rampaged by fire, as well as the collapse of family relationships that follows the deaths of senior family members. The audience completes the work by empathizing with the dead who returns to the ruins of their home and listen to the everyday life of their family members. The involvement of the audience in the completion of the work also questions the conventional notion of “audience” and “artwork” as two separate existences. Morgan Wong Wing-fat (b. 1984) is a media artist based in Hong Kong. He received a Silver Award in 13th ifva (Single Screen based Interactive Media Category, the Hong Kong Independent Film & Video Awards). His works have been showcased in Hong Kong Museum of Art and the 9th Taipei Poetry Festival in Nanhai Gallery,Taipei. http://art.wongwingfat.com 「寄隅」 由中環漢雅軒康摡支持,「寄隅」是香港最細小的另類藝術展覽空間,定期展出本地年輕藝術家作品。展覽場地由非牟利藝術機構–Para/Site 藝術空 間管理,其主要展覽場地為香港上環普仁街四號。詳情請溜覽網頁www.para-site.org.hk。 Para/Site Central Generously hosted by Hanart TZ, Para/Site Central is the smallest independent exhibition venue in Hong Kong, regularly featuring young local talents.
