Category: Coffee Fantasia 咖啡經

個人沈溺可以是有趣的,只要分享,找你的「專家」同路人。咖啡,只是個起頭、代號…。又或你有呷一杯茶的瞬間可以吞吐的一個臨時想法。Everything about coffee... … Coffee plants. Coffee beans. Coffee plantation. Roasted beans. Fair trade. Genesis of coffee drinking. Coffee pots. Coffee cups. Coffee makers. Hand-crafted coffee. Coffee-drinking culture. Coffee and health. Coffee as medicine. Coffee as leisure. Discourse ownership of coffee culture. History of cafes. Politics of world produces. First generation coffee culture. Second generation coffee culture. Third generation coffee culture. Fourth generation coffee culture. Connoisseur perspective. Political history of coffee culture. Coffee academy. Barista. Cafes. Coffee furniture. Coffee-table books. … We are joking!!! Replace “coffee” with any noun — personal obsessions of yours. A tentative thought that may fuel up the slow sip of a cuppa.

Cherie Wong / 我的夢碎片(三) – 爬。[電]梯。兩椿圖文對話 My dream fragments 3: Climb. Elevator. Two text-image dialogs.

From her pool of automatic drawings turned into wooden fragments of her dreamwork, young artist Cherie Wong pulls out another two to form two new dialogues as image-text poems. An obsession with movement, or is it immobility? 王晴雯從她的木製「夢」碎片寶庫裡再掏出兩片,成了兩首圖文對話的詩,像彼此勾連,又似莫不相關。爬、行,卻是移動的衝動,徘徊的辯證。

A digital star cake for October celebrants! 數碼蛋糕:送給十月份的慶生者…

To birthday boys and girls in October… It’s a month marked by monumentalism — 1st and 10th, Russia, China, KMT and more… Occupy our speaking space. Articulate. Another dialogue in poetry… 十月有人生日。別讓俄國革命、十一雙十的歷史碑誌重量大石壓死魚蝦蟹。我有我的說話空間,我有我的故事。發聲,接合。另一次雙人詩對。

Linda Lai / Montage is performance… 潛行:一次分秒秩進的蒙太奇

Linda Lai / Montage is performance… 潛行:一次分秒秩進的蒙太奇

A videographer (Linda Lai) and a artist working on drawings (Jansen Law) in dialogue… The language of montage is invoked, contemplating time… The piece was Linda Lai’s spontaneous response to a few draft drawings Jamsen Law sent her, all from Law’s solo show, “No Details, Not Whole,” at Lumenvisum in September 2016.

Linda Lai / Temporal Being. Writing as performance. Unfolding and refolding the singular.

Linda Lai / Temporal Being. Writing as performance. Unfolding and refolding the singular.

The inter-play of present and past tense is deliberate in contemplating the nature of memory — the fixing of attention onto nit-bits of the chaotic ocean of the past. I am also influenced by moving image creation — every work being the negotiation between the present continuous of the camera at work and the “already-past” of its articulation. 現在進行式與過去式時態的交替共用是「不假思索」法」而來的必然對策,也是現象學的意識論的創作性延伸,在猶如汪洋大海混沌波濤翻滾的「過去」投擲零星的關注點,構成接點的「回憶」,以至構成可被陳述的「經驗」。

FPC / Return Flight: MEL<---->HKG, after a year, the making of…

FPC members participated in an cross-ocean exchange of image and text with artists in Melbourne as the third and final episode of Elizaveta Maltseva’s curatorial project, in collaboration with the Melbourne-based literary journal Going Down Swinging. One year has passed since the show Return Flight: MEL <---->HKG met the public in Melbourne (August) and Hong Kong (September) respectively. This short video looks back on our exchange conversation. 《回程機:墨爾本<---->香港》18個兩地創作人的圖文交流轉眼已是一年前的事。存留的檔案為我們抓住了一些神髓。

Cherie Wong / My dream fragments 2: 2 automatic image-text shorties 我的夢碎片 (二): 兩則不假思索的圖文短話

From her 100 “fragments of fragmentary thoughts” inscribed onto painted wood pieces, Cherie Wong randomly picked two and started to open up their secrets. Cherie Wong 從她 100多塊「一個人的碎碎念」中隨機直覺的抽出兩小片來,打開它們隱藏的話匣子,聽它們娓娓道來。

FPC folks / 卡位埋邊 – 重回太平山 Ah, back to Victoria Peak, after all these years…

「卡位埋邊」為據點藝術群體成員坐埋一檯,寫寫畫畫的筆記。第一個懸念 — 重回太平山。 陸續有來。”Booth” is a series run by members of the Floating Projects Collective, a documentation of their regular conversations through writing, scribbling, serious drawing and photography. First launched is an on-the-spot portrait of being at the tip of Victoria Peak.

Cherie Wong / My dream fragments 1: Understand or communicate? Fragments of my fragmentary thoughts 我的夢碎片 (一): 想了解,卻沒有踏出溝通的一步 // 一個人的碎碎念

Cherie Wong / My dream fragments 1: Understand or communicate? Fragments of my fragmentary thoughts 我的夢碎片 (一): 想了解,卻沒有踏出溝通的一步 // 一個人的碎碎念

好奇心驅使之下,Cherie Wong 讀佛洛依德的理論,希望能從心理分析、潛意識和夢中認識自己。答案雖然並沒有像劇本般理所當然地走出來,她卻找到另一個切入點去看這個問題。To understand how her personality was formed, Cherie Wong delved into Freudian concepts. Psychoanalysis, unconsciousness and dreams interpretation do not result in a clearer picture of who she is, and yet she landed on new artistic possibilities.

六顆子彈 6 Bullets, an exchange

六顆子彈 6 Bullets, an exchange

FPC dialogues… Jess Lau wrote a poem and shared it with Linda Lai, who wrote a poem in response. The exchange develops into that of images. 劉清華隨心寫了一首詩,分享了給黎肖嫻。黎回了另一首詩。後來這個對話由文字推至圖像。

LAI Wai-leung / 不是影評。從光華迸發到日暮星沉,由舊戲「英雄本色」說起  A Better Tomorrow and beyond, not a film review

LAI Wai-leung / 不是影評。從光華迸發到日暮星沉,由舊戲「英雄本色」說起 A Better Tomorrow and beyond, not a film review

In an extended roll call of local made movies, FP writer Wai-leung Lai tells an integrated story of his history of local film viewing, an assertion of the right of a serious non-expert viewer’s voice to be heard. After, popular cinema is a specific way to connect with the ordinary people on the level of living. And after all, Readership Theories have covered much ground in film and media studies in the past 30 something years in the academia. 黎偉亮一個人睇戲的故事,追述多年來看港產片的心跡,說明了用心看戲也就是用心活著。一個用心的觀眾絕對有權在「影評」的建制圈外肯定表述的聲音。
