| Summary 內容: | 關於展覽：一半是詩人，一半是旅人 一切的一切，都始於意料之外的相遇，正如Aubrey和Iris的故事也是從無數次相遇中緩緩展開的。兩個藝術家相遇又別離。在世上無數城市的漫遊中，他們逐漸意識到自己的詩心，正內嵌在旅人般自在漫遊的狀態之中。 在此次展覽中，Iris為Aubrey的詩作配上影像，在文字與圖像之間展開一場耐人尋味的對話。此次展覽紀錄了兩人持續進行的跨媒介對話，也揭示出“合作”，作為一種創作方式的獨特潛能。同時，通過展覽的形式，兩人的對話也邀請著更多觀眾的加入，讓大家以詩人和旅人之心，共同參與這次朝向內心的創作之旅。 特別鳴謝：海旁 香港大學文學雜誌社 About the exhibition: Movie x Poem: Half Traveller, Half Poet Everything starts with unexpected encounters, so does the story of Aubrey and Iris. 2015: Aubrey and Iris met in a trip to Yunnan 2016: Aubrey went to New York for further studies; Iris went to Dublin for Exchange 2017: Aubrey and Iris reunited in Shanghai. 2018: Aubrey continues her art career in USA and Beijing, Iris takes her gap year in Hong Kong 2019: … Two artists met and separated, and soon they have realized they are both poets and travelers. They wander around, from city to city -- they meet people from all walks of life, with smiles and tears. All these memories and experiences became the inspiration of the "Movie x Poem: Half Traveller, Half Poet” exhibition. In this exhibition, Iris visualizes Aubrey’s reading of the poems with short films. Iris’s moving images keep an intriguing dialogue with Aubrey’s voices, transforming the visual and the verbal into an intertwined relationship with tantalizing tensions. This exhibition is an ongoing conversation between these two artists, which presents the possibilities created through collaborative practices. Meanwhile, this exhibition extends the conversation between the two artists to a more open space for the audience to explore, feel, and react, through the perspective of the traveller and the poet.
