香港1990/2010 ......穿過不能捉摸的時間,只能感覺,不能操控,但四維世界卻是活生生的 真實;時間與空間有不可分割的微妙關係,但昔日的時間卻彷彿不著痕跡地 悄悄溜走,留下憔悴的空間讓人憑弔。攝影師WU嘗試以千禧年作分界,在其 前後經歷近廿年的時光,重訪居住地香港的各區不同地方,用地誌攝影的方式 作時間戳記,記錄香港回歸前後兩個十年間(1990/2010)的變化,以比對方式 把城市景觀久歷時間的痕跡展現,盼能讓觀眾游走於時空,體驗穿梭時間的 視覺旅程。
HONG KONG 1990/2010 ……could the time we walked through only be perceived, not conquered, nor touched, the 4-dimentional world is however a lively reality. There exists a delicate but subtle relationship between time and space, amid the untraceable past times passed silently, what left behind was a lonely space for us to recall and remember. Photographer WU set apart the time before and after millennium, in course of almost two decades across the sovereignty handover (1990 / 2010) revisited numerous of places he once visited, documented the changes of cityscape of Hong Kong through the time using a topographic approach. By contrasting the timestamp of the same place distanced by time, he hopes to give the viewers a visual journey of time.

Overview by Photographer In 2010 almost 30 images of Hong Kong’s cityscape have been selected as a documentary collection “Grain & Pixel”. The objective of this documentary series was reflecting the repaid changes in the past two decades (1990~2010) of Hong Kong society. In film era I questioned the future by non-instant tools. After the photography industry amply turned to digital, I have tried to answer by a live view digital camera. The images captured before 2000 are all chemically developed. Every pair of images are not only contrast of the past and present, but also contrast of ‘grained’ and ‘pixelated’, showing how photography changes against time. ── WU, photographer and author
