藝術家簡介|CV of the Artist:

蔡寶賢是一個在香港出生、生活在倫敦的藝術家。她用視頻、表演和聲音來做創作。她用故事、音樂、文字和服裝為創作手法來探討歷史、社會生活上的議題。她會挪用到民俗、宗教傳統儀式的符號,形成富有魔幻、神話、甚至乎荒誕色彩的作品。

Bo Choy is a Hong Kong-born, London-based artist working across film, performance and sound. She uses fiction, music, writing and costumes as artistic devices to navigate through the social, the historical or simply what it means to be living in a technologically driven, capitalist society. Often borrowing tropes from Far Eastern folklore traditions and rituals, her use of costumes and fiction results in works that merged the everyday with the fantastical, the mythological and the absurd.

關於本次駐留|About Residency:

重慶經常被形容為中國最賽博朋克的城市,其建築和夜景的確符合了賽博朋克的美學標準,但這樣的理解只侷限於概念上因高科技而帶來富未來性的城市外觀,忽略了重慶地、人和物的本質。而且,賽博朋克高科技的背後是低生活,意指當下高科技社會裡非主流的「黑客」生活。我希望可以從籍著駐留的時間去從重慶歷史出發去探討市井生活、人情世故、發掘地下文化,以賽博朋克的概念作基礎、用鏡頭和聲音來描述這座城未來性背後的生活,尤其是被忽略的碼頭、山城文化和平民百姓,尋回被忽略的「朋克」元素,把它拼合成為重慶色彩的賽博朋克。

The city of Chongqing is often regarded as the most cyberpunk city in China. Its architecture and cityscape no doubt fulfil the standard of cyberpunk aesthetics, but this limits the city’s cyberpunk imagination to its outlook, ignoring the essence of its people and material conditions under which they live. Furthermore, behind cyberpunk’s “high tech” is its “low life”, meaning those living at the bottom of society, expelled from the mainstream. Through this residency, I plan to use moving image and sound to discover the “punk” of Chongqing’s “cyberpunk” by looking at the city’s history, culture and the quotidian.
