They, Too, Long to be seen, 2026

他們, 也想被看見

​

 

Packaging boxes are used as medium in this exhibition, their role is to protect products from damage. Merchants go to great lengths to dress them up, so that they can instantly catch the customer's eye, then pick them from the shelf amongst the wide range of brands. However, these boxes will eventually be discarded.

​

Boxes have their own place of origin, but relate to our lives.   Have you remembered they once carried souvenirs from friends, daily stuffs and necessities…. These looks chaotic fragments, bits and traces of daily life, piece together a unique life trajectory.

​

In this project, through reconstruction of these boxes, their brilliance once again been seen in another way of seeing, and let’s listen to the story of them and their master.

 

是次展覽的素材是家中的現成物，主要是林林總總的包裝盒，用作保護產品免受破損，商人們亦會花盡心思把他們扮得亮麗，好讓產品能在貨架上瞬間抓住顧客目光，從琳瑯滿目的商品中脫穎而出。而然他們大多數的下場都是被棄掉。

​

這些來自五湖四海的東西，卻連繫着我們的生活。或許我們已經忘記了，曾幾何時這些盒子裝載着朋友們從遠方帶回來的手信，大大小小日常所需品 …. 這些看似雜亂無章的零碎片段，生活點滴， 卻拼湊出獨有的生活軌跡。

​

這一系列作品透過將盒子重新構建，讓他們曾擁有過的風采再一次被看見，也好讓我們聽聽他們細說他們和主人的故事。
