展出理念

作品以六十年代家庭照片的展示方式展出。一個大而不華的鏡框相架掛在大廳的牆上，相架內就排滿了大大小小的生活照片，有彩色的、黑白的、退色的、染污的•••
「家庭大相框」的概念，除了付與「皇后碼頭」一個「家庭成員」的身份之外，還以樸實的鏡框代表每一位熱心的保育人士，框內的照片就顯示著他們所關注的保育 議題。當一個又一個的「家庭大相框」掛在已有數十年歷史的茶餐廳的牆上時，那份懷舊與保育的情意結，比充滿香港味的絲襪奶茶還要濃郁。

參展的攝影師憑著他們對「皇后碼頭」的主觀懷念、追憶及感覺，在個別的「家庭大相框」內作出了各自的表述。

Exhibition Concept

Inspired by the way Hong Kong people displaying their family pictures in the 60’s, photos shown in this exhibition are presented in large picture frames. Photos that capture memorable moments in color or black-&-white, often faded and with smudge, are arranged inside a large picture frame.

The "family picture frame " concept perceives "Queen's Pier" as "family member". The humble but rigid picture frame symbolizes the strength of the active conservationists, whereas, the enclosed photos represent their concerns of conservation issues. Seeing these “family picture frames” hanged on the walls of a cafe with decades of history, one’s nostalgic emotion would grow much richer than the famous Hong Kong-style milk tea.

The participating photographers express in their own ways the emotions about Queen’s Pier within the confined  “family picture frame”.

作品名稱：枱頭上的皇后 The Queen on Grandma’s Desk

外婆勾的白色喱士枱墊，舖在家裡古舊的六桶長櫃上已幾十年。 壓在玻璃下的，是一家人珍貴的全家幅、家庭照。 照片或許早褪了色，但那些影像，卻不會被輕易忘掉。

在皇后碼頭駕崩一年後的今天，我們把皇后的珍貴記憶，放到永不封塵的六桶櫃的枱頭。

不是為了懷舊，而是為了記住， 一個我們不可忘記的教訓。 但願我們的下一代，也能珍惜和擁有他們自己的古傢俱、老相架、舊碼頭，而不只是留下一張張發黃的照片。

A lace crochet knitted by Grandma have been placed under the glass countertop of her good old cupboard, nice and neat for the past fifty years.  Also under the same piece of glass are her most valuable family photos.

Queen’s Pier is like a family member to people in Hong Kong, and she left us for one year already.  Not because we are nostalgic, but from the loss of our dearest Queen’s Pier, we need to remember the lesson that we sadly learned. 

We hope that our future generations will have the chance to treasure their old furniture, old photo frame, old piers and buildings, but not just leaving them with a bunch of faded pictures for remembrance.

作品名稱：最後的訪客 The Final Visitors

去年夏天，很多人來到皇后碼頭，為她、為別人、也為自己做了一點事情。我祇將眾人模糊的身影呈現出來，不是故意隱瞞眾人的身份，而是不想將身影局限於某人。假如您對某些身影似曾相識，您也許會感到欣慰，因為您也曾到此做了一點事情。

Last summer, many people came to Queen's Pier, to do something for her, for others, or for their own. I have shown them in vague images, not deliberately conceal the identity of them, but do not want to be confined to certain persons. If you find some of these images familiar, you may feel pleased, because you did something there last year.

作品名稱：心中的皇后 The Queen in my heart
                                               
去年皇后碼頭被粗暴地解體移走，今天碼頭的原址堆疊著難看的沙土。儘管形狀齊整，總覺格格不入的樣子。照片喚起記憶，堆疊著的照片喚起被遺忘的記憶。但願挪開塵封的舊照後能夠看見晴朗的天空…

Last year, the Queen's Pier was brutally disintegrated and removed.  The site of today's Pier is an ugly stack of sand.  Although the lineup is tidy, it seems incompatible with the appearance. Photos arouse memories.  Stacks of pictures arouse forgotten memories.  Hopefully after removing the dust-laden old photos, clear sky will be seen…
