Description

Another Corner 另一角

Living in an era where many of us live our lives accustomed to getting from point A to point B, we are often driven by the idea that the destination is more important than the journey. In particular, Hong Kong's suffocating rapid pace of life and dense urban space make us easily lose sight of the in-between. If we take a different perspective from the in-between spaces to view the city, perhaps we will find some overlooked details that surprise us from time to time.

Another Corner is a photographic documentation that records the lesser-known everyday happenings in different corners of the city. Through the cataloguing of urban spaces that are public, liminal, permanent and temporary, the work portrays a different angle that captures the hidden beauty and significance found in these spaces; while also highlights how people as users respond to their own needs, and create their personal and social spaces by bottom-up means.

The work invites viewers to pause, reflect on their relationship with urban spaces, and imagine new possibilities for Hong Kong urban spaces to bring a sense of personal comfort and local identity.

我們生活於一個時代，大部分人都被目的地比旅程重要的想法所驅動，習慣了點對點的移動方式，功能性地生活。尤其生活在香港急速的節奏和令人窒息的密集城市空間中，令我們經常忽視了地方與地方之間的空隙。若我們從這些空隙中覓得新的視角，以另一角度觀察這座城市，或許我們會不時發現一些被人忽略的細節。

「另一角」是一份圖文攝影集，透過影像記錄城市中不同角落裏鮮為人知的日常人事物。通過對公共和邊緣、臨時和永久的城市空間進行記錄，作品以不同的視角，捕捉這些空間中隱藏的美麗和意義；與此同時強調人們作為用家因應自己所需，自發地由下而上，創造出個人和社交空間。

作品邀請讀者停歇一下，反思人與城市空間的關係，並想像香港城市空間帶來的個人舒適以及地方認同的新可能性。
