From Studium to Punctum《從知面到刺點》- BA(FA) Graduation Exhibition2012

July 7 ·  · Taken and pictures credit: 香港藝術中心

由澳洲皇家墨爾本理工大學與香港藝術學院合辦的「藝術文學士畢業展2012」，已於 7 月 6 完滿舉行開幕禮，由7號起一連 3 星期於香港藝術中心包氏畫廊及實驗畫廊展出。展覽是學院一年一度的盛事，也是每年本地藝術學士課程備受注目的畢業展；今年將展出 39 位主修繪畫、陶藝、攝影或雕塑的應屆畢業生以不同媒介創作的作品，相信可以帶給觀眾更多視覺衝擊和不
同的觀賞體驗。

是 次 展 覽名 為「從知面到刺點」，主題源自著名的近代法國文學評論學者及哲學家羅 蘭·巴特(English name)的攝影理論，他曾在其名著《明室》中，提出以「知面」和「刺點」 描述攝影的雙概念。「知面」意指映象的敍事面，從照片中可解讀的各種知識、文化及社會的成規 。「刺點」則是刺穿「知面」的一個缺口，讀取純粹是個人和依賴於個人經驗與知覺刺穿觀眾之間的關係，為其帶來無以名狀的深深感動。



Being one of the most highly-regarded exhibitions at the bachelor degree level in Hong Kong, the Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) Graduation Exhibition 2012,jointly presented by the Hong Kong Art School and the RMIT University, was kicked off successfully with a wonderful Opening Ceremony 0n 6 July at the Pao Galleries of the Hong Kong Arts Centre. The exhibition this year will be showcasing artworks in diverse mediums created by 39 graduates majoring in Painting, Ceramics, Photography and Sculpture, starting from 7 until 28 July for 3 weeks.

Roland Barthes, the renowned French literary theorist and philosopher once applied the twin concepts of “Studium” and “Punctum” in his book Camera Lucida, in which he investigates the nature and essence of photography, as well as the effects of photography on the spectator. “Studium” denotes the cultural, linguistic, and political interpretation, while “Punctum” depicts the wounding, personally touching detail.

Gradshow prepare - 文字篇 死亡是為了完滿

Music : The Nurse Who Loved Me - Endy Chow

GradShow prepare

每個人都可以很富有, 有些人在物質上的, 有些在心靈上的, 有些在智慧上的. 當走到生命的盡頭, 擁有最多的, 就是記憶. 人的記憶分幾種, 想記但忘了的, 想忘但記起的, 還有是想記又不肯定的.
有時看過一張泛黃的照片, 聽到一首老歌, 看了當年今日報導, 總勾起很多美好的回憶及遇過的人.
記憶會忘記, 人會變, 但回憶就是重組現場.
他的, 她的, 他們的 重組
His, Her, Their recombination

Grad Show processing

記憶, 似有還無

展覽要開始了, 準備前期工作.

測試物料, 寓工作於娛樂

有關記憶的故事, 都是輕得抓不住, 卻又如石頭投入河, 如死亡.

From Studium to Punctum - Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art) Graduation Exhibition 2012 is co-presented by the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University and the Hong Kong Art School. The exhibition will be held from 7 – 28 July at the Pao Galleries, Hong Kong Arts Centre. Thirty-nine emerging artists will showcase their works, in diverse mediums that include Ceramics, Painting, Sculpture, Photography and Multimedia Installation.



This year’s graduation exhibition is titled “From Studium to Punctum”. In his book “Camera Lucida”, Roland Barthes applied the twin concepts of “studium” and “punctum” on photography. Studium denotes the cultural, linguistic, and political interpretation, while punctum depicts the wounding, personally touching detail. The duality of these cohesive forces offers dynamic possibilities while the graduates have focused on the exploration between general interpretations and distinctive visions.



由澳洲皇家墨爾本理工大學與香港藝術學院合辦的藝術文學士畢業展二零一二，將於七月七日至二十八日，於香港藝術中心包氏畫廊展出。 是次展覽展出三十九位應屆畢業生的作品，匯集不同創作媒介，包括繪畫、陶藝、攝影、雕塑和多媒體裝置藝術。



是次展覽以「從知面到刺點」為主題。羅蘭巴特(Roland Barthes)於他的著作《明室》(Camera Lucida) ，以「知面」和「刺點」 描述攝影的雙概念 。「知面」意指映象的敍事面， 從照片中可解讀的各種知識、文化及社會的成規 。「刺點」則是刺穿「知面」的一個缺口，讀取純粹是個人和依賴於個人經驗與知覺刺穿觀眾之間的關係，帶來無以名狀的深深感動。



「知面」與「刺點」雖彼此對立，但又可並存共現於同一照片中。這種雙互引力不只存在於攝影當中，也呈現於不同的創作媒介。每位畢業生在藝術創作中，遊走於這雙概念之間，從普遍性認知層面的「知面」裡，尋求「刺點」以展現藝術上的獨到見解，觸動觀眾隱藏於內心深處的一點刺。

他想起消逝了的歲月。那些消逝了的歲月，彷彿隔著灰塵的玻璃，看得到、抓不著。看到的種種，都是模模糊糊的。

這些都是小事，可能幾年都不會想起；現在卻忽然從回憶堆中鑽了出來，幫助他消除寂寞與憂慮。他是個將回憶當作燃料的人。他的生命力依靠回憶來推動。

Grad Show Preparing - Thinking about Name

Grad Show 在七月, 終於要來了, 終於可以完結了. 現在明白之前他說過的, 恨不得馬上就畢業不用再上課(當時是YR2尾). 可幸的是沒有太大壓力, 不過世界上有一種東西叫 D E A D L I N E ...... 夭壽...

改名, 我不喜歡好老土個d, 也不想跟別人的一樣(不過不太可能吧), 剛巧心情煩惱, 於是點指兵兵在書架拿了一本書來看. 是幾米的照相本子 (The Moment). 原來, 我失去了我一直有的童真, 把字眼都想得太大人, 太複雜,

唔講廢話.

都係要講... 這樣才可以在最後, 從亂堆堆中, 找一條出路.

那些餘溫滲入床舖, 凌亂的床單, 一掃, 一切是沒有發生過, 還是有發生過?

明明感覺到餘溫, 但表明卻一點也不著跡, 是你忘記了, 還是你想去忘記?

陽光射進了房間, 窗的輪廓倒影在床上, 明明記得, 昨夜的月光也是如此耀眼, 卻又像是三千六百年前的事了.

有一些的過去, 是要過去的, 有一些的過去, 是你不由得不過去的.

就像是迴轉木馬, 離開才可以美麗, 下一個街角再遇見時, 已經不是那一個過去的你, 不是你.

過去, 在光最耀眼之時, 光得要把你的心射穿之時, 已經撫平床單, 別了.

------------------------------------------------
再見　唔好怪我第一句就同你講再見
因為我真係專程來同你道別咖

你唔講嘢　淨係聽我講嘢　嗰陣時個世界好安靜
冇而家咁嘈　襯得我特別吱喳　特別開心
我記得　同你去睇日落
你會響我耳仔邊講嘢　你講得好細聲
其實我一啲都聽唔清楚咖
不過　我好鍾意聽你噉樣同我講嘢
以後　再冇人噉樣同我講嘢喇
因為你話畀我知　你要走喇
忽然間　經過咗好多年
我冇再睇過日落

(唱)
趁熄滅前　還可一見
蠟成了灰　沾污了我的臉
眾生蔓延　淚海被填
浪漫擱淺　舊歡不變

我記得　你同我去過嘅每一個地方
嗰啲地方　通通留喺我心裡面
我唔會講
我老喇　我只係會講
我喺度太耐　時間耐咗
難免知道人總會慢慢咁將過去淡忘
又會睇住啲嘢　無聲無息咁樣消失
我點解要走
我先兩日　唔知諗緊乜嘢
無端端走咗去睇日落
個日落　就同我記得陪住你睇嗰個樣一樣
不過就算我點樣裝出若無其事
我都冇辦法唔承認
我失去嘅嘢實在太多喇

(唱)
趁熄滅前　還可一見
蠟成了灰　沾污了我的臉
眾生蔓延　淚海被填
浪漫擱淺　舊歡不變

我要走喇
如果你記得返我係邊個
我知道
你一定會　好唔捨得我
仲會好掛住我咖
再見

創作思考I.N.G. 3.16

死亡帶走了記憶的證明
存在帶走了當下的記憶
活著是為了記憶
死亡是為了完滿

你說你要走了.
我不捨, 抓住你的手臂勉留.
腦內所有跟你的過去, 化成了文字, 化成了黑線
黑黑的線像音樂, 從腦內跟你的離去的腳步飄離.
白色的紗裙仍潔白, 沒有沾染一點點的黑
就這樣, 你走了, 把我的記憶也帶走

創作思考I.N.G. 3.14

黑白, 我的世界是黑及白, 彩色的是過去的.

創作思考I.N.G.

抽象主題, 有關記憶及死亡, 記憶的畫面總是很模糊, 細節忘記了, 但有時卻又會突然很清楚赤裸在你面前. 你以為現在一刻發生的事是最真實及清楚, 其實你看見的, 不過是假象, 在外表的包裝下, 我們都會表現幼稚, 什麼也做不了, 思想空白, 就好似死者.   當記憶愈走愈遠, 現實就在你面前, 其實你分不清, 跟你之間的距離, 哪個較近哪個較遠.
這是open end, 沒有ans.

真和假, 記憶與當下, 應當看清哪些, 又有哪些可以看得清, 又甚其實不用看清.
就好似死亡, 他沒有一個絕對的定義.
是一個完結, 也可以是一個開始.

ML 問: 簡單點來說是否真實與虛構?




我也不知道...
會繼續思考
