Mapping the Unseen: Maidstone Village
2020 Digital Printing, Stone Rubbing
Mapping the Unseen begins with the historical narratives and old photographs of the civil servant cooperative societies in the Kowloon City district. Through collecting and documenting fragments of residents' daily lives, conducting street interviews, and on-site investigations, the project unfolds through creative explorations. It focuses on the civil servant cooperative societies along Maidstone Road in To Kwa Wan, employing diverse mediums such as photography, zines, and stone rubbing to capture the stories of the area and the traces of its streets.
Unlike newly developed towns, Maidstone Road retains its unique scenery and rich human stories. This project seeks to preserve the memory of this land through visual and material documentation.
地圖上沒有的美善同村
2020 數碼打印,拓印石作
〈地圖上沒有的美善同村〉以香港公務員合作社的獨有歷史故事與老照片為起點,並透過搜集和記錄居民生活點滴、街訪及實地考察展開創作。作品聚焦於土瓜灣美善同道一帶的公務員合作社,以攝影、小誌、拓印等多元形式,捕捉地方故事與街道痕跡。
相較於新發展的市鎮,美善同道仍保留著獨有的風景與豐富的人文故事。作品旨在透過視覺和物質記錄,保存這片土地的記憶。
