大概動物園、博物館奇珍、藝術品展覽,它們之間好像就有一種不言而喻的連繫。
這不是一個聯展,而是共同創作。
即使你可能看得出哪些部份是來自哪位創作人的手筆,但將它們單獨地去欣賞是沒有多大意義的,因為它們都在互相扣連成為一個整體的「敘述」。
運用這個空間,這個油街展場的時空,創作了一場「敘述」。既假又真。
最後沒有假扮一個動物園;卻虛構了一個「珍藏展」。
藏品真真假假,在珍藏與創作之間,構成了一個場景,隱隱呈現了一個具癖好的收藏家,敘述著大概是這個收藏家對城市的觸感,隱含藉城市內不同文化、面貌 (地方)、價值、記憶的消逝……
從這個「珍藏展」,導賞員 (演員) 會帶領你慢慢回到「現場」,時空既是一個展場,是現在的油街實現、又是以往的香港皇家遊艇會,曾經是一個碼頭,那麼以後呢?
敘述的尾聲,大概要提一提大家,還有什麼要去記住,什麼正在消失或被消失當中……
最後,大概可以形容這是:
一個「疑似展覽」;疑似,因為「作品」看來更像場景、佈局、道具。
一個「歷程式演出」;介乎導覽與看表演之間,是參觀者個人、是(與表演者) 單對單、又是集體觀賞經驗的結合。
一個「隱含的動物園」。
A zoo, a museum and an art exhibition, the linkage in between seems explicable, and also metaphorical.
Before the project began, the team has set out a parameter of not going to make it a group show, but a collaborative project. Even though the visitors may be able to recognise which parts of creation are contributed by which artists, there is not much meaning in appreciating the pieces separately. Their existence can only make sense by being perceived connectively as one whole narrative and experience.
The team has taken the exhibition space to create the narrative in full dimension. Partly fictional, partly genuine.
At the end, there is no imitation of a zoo, but a fabricated "Collection" show.In "The Collection", some are real and some are works of creation. In the midst of collections and creations, there appears like a scenario of an unusual collector, who collects faded memories of our city...
Leaving "The Collection", our tour guide (performer) would lead you back to the living presence; where it is currently an exhibition space, but once the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club and a pier. Then, what would it be in the future?
By the end of the narrative, visitors would be reminded to remember, for something disappearing....
At last, we created -
A "performance of an exhibition" - where the artwork may look more like a scene, a setting or props;
An "experiential performance" – where it is difficult to tell between a guided tour and a performance, an individual but at the same time collective viewing experience;
A "metaphorical zoo"
