<之間 in between>
在這之間的是我們，是現在。
In the space between history and our future lies the present.
當疫情蔓延成為全人類必須面對的共通處境時，國際間的生活圈縮小了，而每個人的世界觀卻因此放大了。在隔著山與海的土地之間，以往由距離所圍塑出的空隙，變成了各種關係中必須存在的安全空間 (距離) 。在這之間，不同關係的對等或對立也漸漸發展出各自適切的形狀。然而，在這國與國、人與人、人與自然、未來與過往之間，唯一不變的是當下，不斷變動的是正在發生和即將發生的，不穩定卻又充滿各種未知的可能。
As the pandemic spreads across the globe and becomes a common situation faced by all humanity, the international living circle has shrunk and everyone’s worldview has been expanding. On the land between mountains and seas, gaps created by distance have become necessary safe space (distancing) in between people. In such space, different equal or rival relations also gradually develop into suitable forms. However, in between states, individuals, mankind and nature, the future and the past, the only thing that remains unchanged is the present, whereas what constantly changes are unstable and unknown possibilities that are happening and about to happen.
此系列中，人類的身體是一個群眾的概念，右手跟左手能夠各自單一且獨立運作，但大多是共同合作的。藉由這些肢體代表相異的個體，交相圈出的空白是彼此的距離，透過顏色各異的經緯線交織填補了這些空洞，呈現重置的現況秩序，同時也代表正在發生的當下。
In this series, human body is conceived as a crowd. While the right hand and the left hand can operate alone and independently, they work together most of the time. These limbs that represent different individuals form blank spaces that indicate the distance in between. The interweaving colors, on the other hand, fill the blankness, showing the current order that has been reset, as well as the present that is happening.
之間 In between

Thanks Vogue Hong Kong for featuring me as one of the HK street photographers 🙏🏼

Below is the previously unreleased complete interview in which I shared about my inspirations, creative flow and philosophy, as well as some techniques. Feel free to take a look & CLS (comment, like & share) 😀

(V: Vogue J: Jeremy)
V:
What/who inspired your photography style?
J:
When I started photography, Hong Kong’s legendary photographer Ho Fan’s work has inspired me a lot, mostly about the use of light and composition as well as the way to authentically capture the secular life of Hong Kong people. Around 6-7 years ago, I met some friends from Instagram whose double exposure film works are fascinating. They have inspired me to explore deeper in this special way of photo story-telling, which I tried to incorporate daily ordinary elements to make new interpretations of what I feel and perceive about the city. After years of experimentation, I am still enjoying the possibility double exposure brings to my creative journey.

V:
How would you describe the Hong Kong that you present in your photos?
J:
Hong Kong is a city of varying landscapes (hills, harbours, hyper-dense urban hubs etc). My photos always try to illustrate snippets of things happening around the city, mixing the common experience with a bit of poetic imagination if possible (including openness or even ambiguity for the readers to interpret). At the same time, I always put in mind not to create something too cliche or off-the-ground. Words also play a role in my photos too, as they could add another layer (or twist) of background info or feel to the photos themselves.
——
V:
In what way do you present it?
J:
Analogy with an implicit storyline is what I always aim at when I take photos. Although double exposure comprises of only a fraction of my photography work, I believe it suits my visual philosophy well in (1) recording things happening or surrounding around myself/the city in terms of both factual archives and personal-based memory, (2) freeing up the mind by letting imagination flow in (as to temporarily overlap the concrete realities into some forms of surrealism, creating as a remedy for the chaotic world). So I would say it is an aesthetically refreshing way of visual representation.
——
V:
Why did you choose this photo?
J:
One of my mostly used double exposure approaches is the experimental blending of observed urban moments with on-the-spot patterns/materials (I have been using the instagram hashtag #rambler_hkdouble to collect my double exposure photos posted on IG). For this picture of Mongkok, I first captured a V-shaped pattern of bluish/greenish tiles from a nearby pedestrian underpass, then I captured the second layer on the Argyle Street footbridge which oversees the V-shape urban canyon of Mongkok. This was taken by an old Nikon film camera with a discontinued film stock called Rollei CN200. I like how the grains and tints worked together to offer a mood of ruggedness.

V:
Is there a message that you’d like to share through your photos?
J:
I always try to capture the subtlety of a place (incl. urban fabrics and artefacts) through compositions and lighting. I hope my photos would bring a sense of resonance, reminiscence and reflection to my audience (whether HKer or not), connecting them with a place’s own history, her present reality and an extrapolation of the future.
My main channel of photo sharing is on Instagram, but I really treasure the interactions with my audience both online and offline, local and overseas, mostly through web comments, my own photo exhibitions or occasional organised photowalks. I love the moments when I try to inspire people, I got reversely inspired by them too. I hope these modes of sharing could continue in the future.

This video was for education purpose.
Our lecturer asked us to make a video presentation, instead we're making a music parody video, so we hoping she did get mad but for sure we're still in the right track (i think).

Puan or Miss Nora who dedicated to us given a topic which was 'SURREALISM' for making an idea to create this wondeful epic video parody.
