| Video Discription | Hong Kong is a safe city comparatively. We have very few catastrophes but minor accidents happened here and there in our daily life. I am interesting in thinking the idea of accident in terms of scales. When an accident enlarges to the scale of a major catastrophe, it brings us only negative effects and feelings. When an accident minimizes to a level very close to the edge of a safety realm, it carries a kind of unknown beauty, which fills the void of a city with blind faith in safety. This beauty is about spontaneous, surprise, humours, rebellious, humanities, curious, and enlightening. The 3 works in this exhibition are about a repetition of an accident inside a safety-control area, a document of a minimal natural accident in modern city, and an experiment of enlarging the risk of a minimal accident. Balloon In Hong Kong, there are many large-scale shopping malls in different districts but in similar design, services, and combinations of shops. Security is of management's major concern of a shopping mall and every corner is under surveillance. It is very hard for an accident to be gestated in such a highly controlled area. Among those rare accidents, a helium balloon wandering away from Toys R Us and flying straight up to the ceiling of the shopping mall is at no doubt the brightest one. In a repetitive time, repetitive space, an accident happens repeatedly. Dreams Museum is a must-see for me when I travel to other cities. Museum is a white-cube environment with temperature and lighting under serious controlled. Natural laws take limited effects there. There is almost unlikely for a natural disaster occurs inside a museum. The most likely natural accident for a visitor to encounter would be falling asleep unintentionally. In Fukuoka Asian Art Museum, I restored many fragile dreams made by fragile accidents. Shoelace I take a sculptural approach to realize the idea of this artwork. When you forgot to tie your shoe, you are under a risk of losing balance when someone steps on the shoelace accidentally. What I am intended to do is to enlarge the risk by extending the length of the shoelace and leave it untie. The longer the shoelace, the higher the risk of having a minor accident. High level risk builds connections with strangers. This is an accident with humanities. |
