⛰️《方土誌》在香港的展覽正式告一段落，但這段旅程還會繼續！
🌟‘Bones of Our Land’ has come to a close in Hong Kong, but the journey continues!

從大帽山石砌梯田上的魚骨紋，到二十四億年前藍細菌吐出的遠古氧氣——《方土誌》帶領我們穿梭於不同的時間尺度，閱讀大帽山不斷被書寫與改寫的土地記憶。

這趟旅程中，我們親身走入大帽山的梯田與林地，探尋耕作與生物多樣性的關係，在層層土壤中尋找保育與生態復修的希望，也在觸碰、嗅聞與玩泥的過程中，重新思考人類與大地的關係。我們亦透過戲偶、詩歌與琴音，將遠古藍細菌的故事連繫至當下的呼吸與心跳，又在山上展開一場橫跨四十六億年的「深時漫步」，循着時間的褶皺，探索土壤形成之前的生命軌跡。

接下來，《方土誌》會前往英國布萊頓，參與今年的 Photoworks Festival。今年藝術節以「Un/Stable: Lands, Anxieties, Dreams」為題，關注土地、記憶與對未來的不確定性。這些提問，也一直伴隨着我們認識大帽山這片山坡的過程。展覽將於即日起至10月25日在布萊頓 Gallery Lock In 展出，與另一座城市的觀眾相遇。

謝謝這段時間來看展覽的每一位，也謝謝一路與我們同行的藝術家、研究者、合作夥伴和朋友。我們在泥土上的每一步、每一口呼吸，都在延續故事，也讓我們與這片土地的關係，在展覽以外繼續生長。

From the herringbone patterns of Tai Mo Shan’s stone terraces to the oxygen released by cyanobacteria 2.4 billion years ago—‘Bones of Our Land’ took us across different timescales to read the mountain’s land memories, continually written and rewritten.

We walked through Tai Mo Shan’s terraces and woodlands, exploring cultivation, biodiversity, and the possibilities of ecological restoration. Touching, smelling, and playing with soil invited us to rethink our relationship with the earth. Puppetry, poetry, and live music brought ancient cyanobacteria into dialogue with our breath and heartbeat. A ‘Deep Time Walk’ traced 4.6 billion years of Earth’s history, exploring life before soil.

Next, ‘Bones of Our Land’ travels to Brighton, UK, for the Photoworks Festival. This year’s theme, ‘Un/Stable: Lands, Anxieties, Dreams’, explores land, memory, and future uncertainties —questions central to our encounters with Tai Mo Shan. The exhibition runs from till 25 October at Gallery Lock In, Brighton. We look forward to sharing the work with new audiences.

Thank you to everyone who visited, and to the artists, researchers, partners, and friends who joined us along the way. Every step and every breath carries this hillside’s stories beyond the exhibition, opening up new conversations.

⛰️在土壤出現之前，方土與生命又是甚麼模樣的？
🌿What did life look like before we have soil?

《方土誌》內，土壤是子懷與 Coşkun 的研究核心。聚焦土壤，也讓我們對其所蘊藏的一切展開了全新的想像——豐富多樣的生物、來回復返的破壞與修復，以及比我們所知的現代香港更深遠的歷史軌跡。

但若再進一步思考：在土壤出現之前，方土與生命又是甚麼模樣的？
田野導賞最終章以時間為題。參加者將於大帽山展開一場「深時漫步」（Deep Time Walk），探知地球四十六億年的漫長歷史，並追溯生命在各個地質時代中的誕生與演化。這趟特別為 WMA 策劃的漫步體驗，建基於已故史蒂芬·哈丁博士（Dr Stephan Harding）與嘉道理農場暨植物園（KFBG）多元整體教育團隊所共同設計的「深時漫步」。

Part 3: “Time”

Soil, as the “Bones of Our Land”, has been the crux of the commissioned project for Tsz Wai and Coşkun. The focus allows us to open up a new imagination of what our land encompasses–the vast diversity of lives, the non-linear journey of destruction and restoration, as well as a historiography that goes deeper than what we come to know of as modern Hong Kong.

But taking it one step further–what did life look like before we have soil?
Our final field walk shifts the attention to time. Participants will embark on a “deep time walk” across Tai Mo Shan, uncovering the 4.6-billion-year history of Mother Earth and tracing the emergence of life through geological eras. Developed specifically for WMA, this teaser walk is based on the full Deep Time Walk programme designed by the late Dr Stephan Harding and the Holistic Education Team at KFBG.

你知道藍細菌門（Cyanobacteria）嗎？
就是二十四億年前，在地球上很努力吐出氧氣的那種微小生命。

它花了數十億年，一層一層沉積出如厚床墊般的時間皺褶，把海洋從藻綠染成蔚藍，同時也把呼吸的秘密，悄悄刻進我們日後的每一次心跳與焦慮之中。從小時候校車窗外飛逝的風景、水底遊戲時的憋氣，到長大後生活裏突如其來的窒息與呼吸調節——我們每一次對空氣的渴求，都連接着那片遠古海洋。

在數據喧囂的時代，「方土誌」的藝術家潘子懷和Coşkun Güçlü，與戲偶製作及操偶師小咪與音樂人劉子斌携手，為你道來一個關於時間與呼吸的故事。

他們以展覽作為舞台，帶來《藻綠與蔚藍》——結合手作戲偶、現場音樂與詩歌朗誦，為觀眾帶來一場沉浸式劇場體驗！戲偶在光影的深海褶層中呼吸，手風琴與吉他的即興琴音，與詩句起伏跌宕——

邀請你暫時抽離數碼藩籬，走進現場，重新感受口述故事的真實溫度，在呼吸與心跳的律動中，連結那場自億萬年前綿延至今的生命流轉。

Have you heard of Cyanobacteria?
They are the tiny lifeforms that, some 2.4 billion years ago, were busy exhaling oxygen into the Earth’s atmosphere.

Over billions of years, they deposited thick folds of time, shifting the oceans from algal green to deep blue—while quietly inscribing the secret of breathing into our every heartbeat and every tremor of anxiety. From scenery whipping past childhood bus windows to holding our breath underwater, and the sudden tightness of a panic attack in later life—our craving for air connects directly back to that ancient sea.

In an era drowned in digital noise, ‘Bones of Our Land’ artists Tsz Wai Pun and Coşkun Güçlü, alongside puppetry-maker and puppeteer Xiao Mi and musician Bunn Lau, present ‘Indelible Momentum in Blue and Green’, an immersive theatre performance blending handcrafted puppetry, live music, and spoken verse.Puppets come alive within folds of light and shadow, as improvised accordion and guitar ebb and flow alongside poetry.

Step beyond the overwhelming digital screens and into the shared immediacy of a story told aloud—where breath, memory and heartbeat open onto a life that reaches from the distant past into the present.

數年前的夏季，WMA與四位藝術家及一眾島嶼居民與研究者，以展覽「隔離（個）島」為起點，展開一系列島嶼研究。其中，居港學者Otto Heim博士在最近出版的〈嶼落 Islands〉*中，以此展覽為案例，指出在疫情使城市生活備感孤立之際，藝術家引領觀眾重新感知香港的島嶼地理，藉此檢視「島嶼與島嶼之間」並行的關係，提出非以陸地為中心的思考。

後疫情時期，不少人選擇搬到離島居住，尋求另一種生活節奏；而隨着交通網絡與填海發展不斷重塑海岸線，「島」與「城」的邊界亦持續浮動，促使我們不斷重新審視島嶼的本質與想像 。

展覽落幕至今，關於香港島嶼性的對話與探索從未停止。藉着Otto這篇新文章發表，我們特別整理並首度公開藝術家尹子聰《在無人島上生活了七天》的展演計劃創作紀錄。如Otto所言：「儘管計劃因一場暴風雨而在一夜後被迫中止，卻強烈地提醒觀眾，在島上生活，跟對島嶼寄託美好想像，存在着差異。」鏡頭下記錄的不只是風雨中的倉促撤離，更是藝術家對島嶼真實環境的切身試探。這些未曾曝光的畫面讓人思考：在「棲居」與「想像」的拉鋸之間，我們該如何走出都市的投射，重新觸碰島嶼浮動多變的本質？

農業、考古、建造、採礦——現代社會與土地的關係，往往帶著剝削的意味。

我們開墾土地，總以粗暴的手法從中榨取資源，因為工業體系逼使我們不斷消耗各種物資：金屬、寶石、糧食、文物，以及其他被大規模開採的資源。我們按自己的意願改造這片土地，去餵養我們親手建立的系統。我們製造出過剩的「廢棄物」，引發連鎖的效應，而整套體系卻無意減少這些傷害。

儘管坊間已有不少試圖減少破壞、甚至滋養土壤的實踐（如再生農業、低度干擾林業），但亦有人受到召喚，選擇以更為親密、童趣、且某種程度上更具靈性的方式，與自然同樂。
是次工作坊邀請了四位嘗試以另類視角與大地重新連結的實踐者。他們對框限我們生活的體系投以好奇的目光，並以微小、開放的行動介入與抗衡——擾動現有循環、使天然物料免於落入堆填區，並邀請大家一同嬉戲，重拾與「自然」的連結：去觸碰、去嗅聞、去共存。

不同領域的知識體系究竟如何看待我們腳下的土地？土壤向地景藝術家、陶藝家、生態學家以及自然建築工匠揭示了什麼？而這些認知方式又能如何啟發我們與地球建立更具互惠性的關係？

Agriculture. Archaeology. Construction. Mining. Modern society’s relationship with the land is often exploitative.

We work the land and extract from it—often brutally—because industry demands we constantly consume goods: metals, gems, food, artefacts, and other resources drawn at industrial scale. We reshape the land to our will, feeding systems we have created, generating excess “waste” and consequences the system has no incentive to reduce.

While myriad practices exist to minimise disturbance to—and even enrich—the soil (regenerative farming, low-Impact forestry, among others), others have been called to delight and play with nature on a much more intimate, whimsical, and in some ways, spiritual level.

This workshop brings together four practitioners who each seek to reconnect with the earth through alternative ways of seeing. Casting a curious eye on the systems that frame our daily lives, they intervene and push back through small, simple, open-ended acts—disrupting existing cycles, diverting materials from landfill, and inviting everyone to play alongside them: to touch, to smell, to coexist.

How do different bodies of knowledge approach the ground beneath our feet? What does soil reveal to the land artist, the ceramicist, the ecologist and the natural builder working in the field? And what might these ways of knowing teach us about a more reciprocal relationship with the earth?

⛰️🍃香港近七至八成的土地被綠色植被覆蓋，但當中卻沒有一片「原始森林」？
當中原生物種又有幾多？🐾 🌿🍄‍🟫🌺

數百年的農耕採樵、加上二戰期間的毀滅性砍伐，讓香港的原生森林幾乎消失殆盡。戰後為了防止水土流失而大量種植的外來速生樹種，成功造就了我們今日看到的綠意，卻也改變了本土的生態面貌。我們該如何透過保育，讓真正「土生土長」的生命重新扎根？

踏入八月，WMA與嘉道理農場暨植物園邀請大家參與「方土三部曲」第二部曲：「土生・土長」，一同穿梭於復育後的林地與梯田之間，探討何為「原生物種」——他們在生態系統重建中扮演什麼重要角色，又如何在人為干預與自然修復之間取得平衡？讓我們藉這次漫步，重新思考保育與復育的意義。

「方土三部曲」從作品《方土寸心》伸延而來，以「耕作」、「保育」及「時間」為題，展開三場在地考察。你將跟隨藝術家Coşkun Güçlü與潘子懷、嘉道理農場暨植物園的專家，以及WMA團隊，展開一場城市 × 郊野、藝術 × 生態的漫步，重新發掘「希冀」的土壤。

⛰️🍃 Roughly 70–80% of Hong Kong‘s land is covered in green, yet none of it is “primary forest”?
So how many native species actually remain? 🐾 🌿🍄‍🟫🌺

Centuries of farming and woodcutting, compounded by severe deforestation during the Second World War, nearly wiped out Hong Kong’s native forests. Post-war reforestation relied heavily on fast-growing exotic tree species – creating today’s lush greenery, but also reshaping the local ecology. How can conservation help truly native life take root again?

This August, WMA and Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden (KFBG) invite you to Part 2 of the Guided Field Walks: ”Conservation“. Walking through restored woodlands and terraces, we will examine what defines ”native species“ – the role they play in ecosystem recovery, and how human intervention can be balanced with natural healing. Join us to rethink what conservation and restoration really mean.

Each walk is structured around one of the commissioning film’s key lines of enquiry: “Cultivation”, “Conservation”, and “Time”. Through each theme, artists Coşkun Güçlü & Pun Tsz Wai, together with KFBG and invited experts, and the WMA team, will lead participants through artistic research, ecological learning, and collective reflection on “hope”.

❝ 當我們修補破損，卻忘記它原來的模樣時，我們在修補什麼？❞

#方土誌 將大帽山看待為一份有生命力的記憶檔案，它由不再存在的茶田、現在進行式的森林復修，與尚待發掘的歷史交織而成。身兼生態研究、歷史考察和藝術創作的潘子懷和Coşkun Güçlü，如何在泥土樣本、DNA編碼、文獻與口述歷史之間穿梭，從罅隙中拼湊新的想像和敍述？由此提問：當一個空間既已不復原初，在悲傷的本質上，我們如何立足破碎，並以此勾勒未來？

歡迎你踏入 #方土誌 ，找尋自己的答案。

❝ When we restore what is broken, yet no longer remember its original form, what are we truly restoring? ❞

‘Bones of Our Land’ sees Tai Mo Shan as a living archive of memory, woven from vanished tea terraces, ongoing forest restoration, and histories still waiting to be uncovered. Through soil samples, DNA sequencing, archival research, and oral histories, Tsz Wai Pun and Coşkun Güçlü move through layers of fact, fragment, and uncertainty, piecing together new narratives from what lies between them. If a place can never return to its original state, how do we remain with its fracture, and imagine a future shaped by that loss?

Please visit ‘Bones of Our Land’ and discover your own reading of the land.
