「香港攝影系列」展覽二

The ever-changing landscape of urban spaces and social phenomena that are part and parcel of city life are popular subjects among photographers. Capturing these transforming images on film, an eclectic group of lensmen and women have given impetus to the art of social landscapes within the tradition of documentary photography. Like flâneurs (city wanderers) in other genres, they focus their cameras on social vistas related to travel and living and, through the images they capture, reflect upon the causes of change in the community and its environs, sometimes even offering their own commentary and critique.

Our three guest curators for this exhibition -- seasoned photographer and educator Joseph Hon-kee Fung, Blues Kai-yu Wong, co-founder of the pH5 Photo Group, and Wong Suk-ki, lecturer at the Academy of Visual Arts of the Hong Kong Baptist University -- have selected some 260 works, dating from the 1950s to the present day, by 35 groups of artists to showcase social landscape photography at its most poignant and powerful. Presented under the themes of Street Photography, Social Documentary Photography, New Topographics Photography, Conceptual and Manipulated Photography, these images epitomise the development of contemporary documentary photography in Hong Kong.

城市空間、社會現象、急於消失的變遷，是圍攏在都市人周遭的生活事物。攝影師往往也喜歡以此為題材，運用一雙攝影眼拍下照片，漸成為紀實攝影中的「社會風景攝影」學派。他­們就像一眾城市漫遊者，聚焦在居住和遊歷的社會景觀上，透過影像，思考社群與環境變遷的因緣，甚至道出一些論述和批判。


是次展覽由資深攝影及教育工作者馮漢紀先生、「pH5攝影連動」創辦人之一黃啟裕先生及香港浸會大學視覺藝術院講師黃淑琪女士擔任客席策展，選粹自35組攝影師作品約26­0多幅涵蓋1950年代至當今的傑出社會風景攝影佳作，並按作品專注面劃分為「街頭攝影」、「社會紀實攝影」、「新地景主義攝影」和「觀念及矯飾攝影」四個類別，綜覽當代­香港紀實攝影的發展面貌。
