Location: Lai Chi Wo Village, Hong Kong

2016

First time stepping into Lai Chi Wo, we found a young farmer digging the ground, determined to create a channel connecting the water stream to irrigate the land. We are inspired that water is bringing the land into live and turn it from a bared-land to a farmland. Such continuous water supply also susistain the farmland and thus our living. Therefore our work hope to remind visitor the beauty of nature and emphasis on the interaction with nature, such that our work is powered by water and create sound of bamboo beats during it’s movement to remind people the important of the stream and reconcider the relationship between water, land and lives.

 

We are fascinated that Lai Chi Wo’s stream not only moisten the farmland, but also nuture and feed a number of habitats for various animals, insects and plants. It’s contributing to the bio-diversity of the place and you can definitely experiecne that though listening closely.

 

Therefore we would like to bring you along to exprience a journey of nature, following the four scattered sound device which marked four different listening spot that we found most interesting in it’s natural soundscape and views.

《在水一荒》​

​地點:荔枝窩

2016

荔枝窩背山面海,位置得天獨厚。古時的客家人看準這裡的珍貴資源,在此落地生根。已然,城市的發展已不再限制於在地天然資源的多寡,荔枝窩村亦日漸荒廢。

 

首次踏足荔枝窩,碰見農夫努力掘土開田,為的是創造一 水溝連接水源,灌溉土地。 我們受其啟發,水仿佛是給與土地生命, 使荒土變成田,川流不息的水源同時給與田野永續的可能。故「在水一荒」希望令來訪者體驗大自然之美,強調與自然互動的變化, 以水作力量推以運行 ,嘗試透過製造聲音意識它的存在,重新認識水源、土地和生活間密不可分的關係。

 

荔枝窩的天然河流帶動水源,不僅滋養稻田造糧,更孕育著田邊的小蛙、河邊的蜻蜓、飛舞的蝴蝶、多樣的植物,是繫動生命的原動力。

 

我們四個裝置為帶動觀賞者一個旅程,細聽四個聆聽點的自然聲音。由西門出發,先經過流水沖沖的新娘潭,傾聽水源之美,復耕農地的面貌隨之而映入眼簾。細聽之下,清脆竹聲、川流田中、細細的蟲鳴、歌唱的鳥兒將譜出一首優美樂章。
