Artist Talk: Photography and Cityscapes 攝影與城市

Speakers | Lau Chi Chung, Thomas Lin, Paul Yeung, Sampson Wong

Time | 2:00-3:30PM

Location | 5/F, Pao Galleries, Hong Kong Arts Centre

Language | Cantonese

When every day, thousands of people snap casual photos of the cityscape of Hong Kong, what can we still learn about the art of the city landscape?

Urban researcher and scholar Sampson Wong draws out the wisdom and insights of three veteran photographers on photographing the city for the exhibition 'Mega Family—Imagining Home'.

Their approaches vary wildly. Lau Chi Chung takes a research-oriented approach, trawling the archive and his own memory to re-image the changing neighbourhood of North Point. Thomas Lin meticulous plays with artificial intelligence and early photographic methods to fill in gaps in Hong Kong history. Paul Yeung is decisively in the present moment, relying on colourful serendipity to capture the relationships between contemporary people and places.

Enjoy their stories, experience, and expertise in this third of a series of four artist talks at the 2024 HKIPF.

當每天有成千上萬的人隨意拍攝香港的城市景觀時，我們還能學到甚麼關於城市景觀的藝術？

城市研究員兼學者黃宇軒從《萬象有光 — 家園想像》展覽中會向三位資深攝影師汲取拍攝城市的智慧和見解，並發掘當中的迥異差別。

劉智聰以研究為導向，透過翻查檔案和自己的記憶來重新描繪北角不斷演變的社區；練錦順細緻地運用人工智慧和早期的攝影方法，來填補香港歷史的空白；楊德銘以決定性的當下，依靠豐富多彩的遇發性來捕捉當代人和土地之間的關係。

請參與攝影節2024的四場藝術家講座系列之三，傾聽他們的故事、經驗和專業知識。
