Train of thought
Through a telling city
An outdoor interactive light installation

月下列車
靜聽故事
遊歷未來城邦
戶外互動燈光裝置展覽

Moon dims and shines, waxes and wanes;
Season comes and goes, as an everlasting circle of life;

Moon Festival of forgotten tradition in celebration of autumn harvest,
the connection with nature that we may no longer recall;

With a journey through interactive light art installation,
illuminating our future imagination, that reconnect us with nature.

Let us fly the future city to the moon...
Through the eyes of 10-year-old kids, that brightening up possibilities of bridging nature to our metropolis life.　


月圓融和
四季演替
不息復始

月下列車遊歷未來城邦
與自然五行重新扣連

在中秋月圓的背幕下，《月台》是一場戶外互動燈光裝置展覽
從十歲孩子對未來城市的想像出發，反思都市生活與自然循環的關係

Storytelling under the moon...
乘著故事奔月...

Children and the grown-ups share their imagination of future cities under the moon...

An extract from Invisible Cities:

The city does not consist of this, but of relationships between the measurements of its space and the events of its past… the tilt of a guttering and a cat's progress along it as he slips into the same window… like the lines of a hand, written in the corners of the streets…

Travelling at 10 m/min, how do observant passengers reflect on happenings along the rail? What do their tales tell, in the present tense, about once upon a time in the future?

點一盞燈籠擦亮未來，小朋友大朋友以奇思奔月，以歷練回應，一同妙想明月下的城市......

《看不見的城市》中有這樣一段：

「城市不是這樣構成的；構成城市的是空間距離，和發生過事情之間的關係……渠的斜度，貓沿着它，竄進同一扇窗……像掌紋，寫在街角……」

列車一分鐘走十米，途中一直在看的乘客，會告訴聽故事的人甚麼
