- 跳 舞 草 亂 舞 - 區華欣 / - The Dance of the Dancing Plant - AU Wah Yan 跳舞草，又名電報草，聽到聲音會翩翩起舞。 傳訊石，緊握一塊在手，可以作遠距離通訊。 展覽分成三個篇章:（一）撿起一塊石頭（二）當植物遍佈各處時（三）她們擁有耳朵，由石版畫、影像信、散文詩拼貼而成。情節是這樣的，自從某天，她開始養成讀報寫信聽收音機的習慣，她看一切不再過時。另一個她，每當風吹草動，她便走到臨海的地方觀看石頭。然後，又有另一個她嘗試重拾最遠古的印刷術，將地表之下的無聲通信，敲打成發聲電碼，連接重重區隔的當下，以自然物隔牆耳語，抵達對方，接通彼此。 滿腳沙石如果踫上海水。 重覆擦拭石頭。 油水即便分離，你也要保持濕潤。 區華欣，畫畫人，畫漫畫，做版畫，偶有寫作。熱愛山海動植物，鍾情詩歌。作品帶有預言性質，經常模糊虛構與現實之間的界限，以富有超現實意象的敍事結構窺視內心風景。畢業於香港中文大學藝術系，於高中教學十年後，今年在比利時安特衛普皇家藝術學院取得碩士，專修版畫。 對談分享: 17/12 (日) 3pm-4:30pm - 葉梓誦 x 區華欣 行為即興: 30/12 (六) 5:30pm-6:30pm - 汪 倩 8/12 - 31/12 星期五至日 ｜ 1-7 pm 星期一至四 （需一星期前預約) 地址：Art Space1999 , 灣仔軒尼詩道365號富德樓 10/F ______________________________________________________________________ The Dancing plant, also known as the telegraph plant, dances when it hears a sound. Sending stones, when held in hands, can communicate across long distances. The exhibition is divided into three chapters: 1) Picking up a stone. 2) When plants are everywhere. 3) They have ears. It is a collage of lithographs, image letters, and prose poems. Plot: one day, she got into the habits of reading newspapers , writing letters, and listening to the radio. In her eyes, nothing is of the past anymore. There exists another her, who goes to the coast to look at stones whenever the wind blows. There exists yet another her, who tries to pick up the most ancient printing techniques and hammer the silent communication underneath the earth into audible telegraph codes, in order to connect to the barriered present; to whisper through the walls using natural objects; to reach and connect with each other. If one’s feet, covered with sand, touch the seawater. Wiping the stones repeatedly. You have to keep moist even if the oil and water are separated. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Au Way Yan is a visual artist, comic artist, printmaker, and occasionally also a writer. She is passionate about mountains, seas, plants, animals, and also poetry. Her work is of a prophetic nature and constantly blurs the boundary between reality and fiction, using surrealist narratives to peep into one’s mind. Au graduated from the Department of Fine Arts at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. After teaching at high schools for ten years, she got a Master's degree from The Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp this year, focusing on printmaking. 8 Dec - 31 Dec Friday - Sunday 1-7 pm Monday - Thursday（Reservation required one week in advance) Venue : Art Space1999, 10/F, Foo Tak Building, 365 Hennessy Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong
