I am not strong enough to change the world, but I believe in art to change the people.

Is there something you always draw? 

I always draw things related to the two characters – Fireyman and Iceman I created.  They have extremely different personalities.  I like contradictions, when things are sometimes confusing and sometimes crystal-clear.  It took me some years to develop the body of works on these two characters, I am planning to come back to them again soon.

做藝術的總給人不設實際的感覺嗎?

這是我選擇的「生活態度」,可能有些人會認為這是逃避現實、或是一種自我安慰,不過藝術讓我接觸的事物確實令我豐富了自己。我就是喜歡去不斷尋找,像個流浪者 – 對路過之事留下眼緣卻不留戀,亦可能有一天會返回舊地。

你參與Ten Tents時於馬灣造了什麼作品?

我從馬灣一帶收集不同廢物,有磚塊有舊廚具。我用舊廚具造了一個裝置藝術,我把舊廚具一分為三份懸掛於天花,晚上在裝置下生火,模擬儀式的感覺。這作品三部份是馬灣給我的感覺,每次從碼頭來到Ten Tents陣地,都經過三個不同的階段:首先是極為富有的區域,然後是平房區,最後走到這個破爛的地方。

除此以外,我亦有繪畫,都是就地取材,在畫上加入馬灣的元素。

藝術對你來說是什麼?

我的生活離不開藝術,藝術讓我表達、抒發、亦有治療作用。它可以令我認識到自己不熟識的一面。而我認為不斷創作和實踐是必須的,空談的藝術不真實。

很少人會這樣說,但你認為自己已過著夢想的生活?

對。我很喜歡藝術,而我每天都能創作和做有關藝術的事,又能為家庭付出一點點,所以我已過著夢想的生活。其實我們讀藝術的,總會被問到「讀藝術將來可以做什麼,如何賺錢?」面對這些問題我十分反感,因為大家價值觀不同,別人夢想有高收入,不代表我的夢想生活也是這樣。

你的創作關於什麼?

我正探討「自我和他者」及「存在」的概念,並研究以繪畫和木刻去表達我的想法。

「自我和他者」的概念是當「我」看見並能觸摸我的腿、我的手,那是真實的;而我設想我的腿、我的手(「他」)是一個能感覺的機體,被看見時便把「他」的注視引向世界。在這種情況下,對於「我」的眼睛來說我的腿和手是「他」,這就是「我」與「他」兩者的共存關係,也是一種社會現象。

早前在Facebook得知有幾位學生在馬灣「搞藝術」,Facebook頁上指這個名為Ten Tents的小團體是由五位藝術學院學生合辦,他們不定期舉行各類型的藝術活動和展覽 ,看來概念十分有趣,於是決定到馬灣走一趟。

網上的指引十分清晰,我們從中環乘坐地鐵再轉乘巴士,約40分左右便到達馬灣,不過距離我們的目的地還有一段路,大約十分鐘的路程吧。途中我們經過一座頗新的建築物,原來是一間書室,裏面還有一個小展館,不過行程緊迫我們沒有到内瀏覽。

What is your artistic practice about? 

The projects that I have been working are about the tension between social expectations and individual identities.  Human beings are social animals, inevitably we are under pressure to conform to social norms; at the same time, we have our own identities and values.  This is where the tension comes in.

I witnessed people around me became frustrated and depressed by social myths, like the standard of beauty.  I have made these social issues the focus of my art.  I have no intention to judge but I want to reveal the truth about social norms.  The audience is the one to judge and to think about their own identities and positions in the contemporary world.

今年Affordable Art Fair比上年熱鬧,在展覽完畢前兩小時,場地依然人頭踴踴。場內有音樂、有攝影亭、有咖啡香檳都還有小食,主辦單位確實花了不小心思。
