[𝐇𝐇 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 日誌] 𝐆𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐫𝐬: 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 幽園夜夢:開幕講座精華
“𝘎𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘞𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘳𝘴 invites audiences to listen closely to the many ‘whisperers’ who dwell among us.”
On opening day, curator Mankit Lai and artist duo Benjamin Ryser (Benjamin Ryser) and Dorothy Wong (Dorothy Wong Ka Chung | 黃加頌) shared the stories behind 𝘎𝘢𝘳𝘥𝘦𝘯 𝘞𝘩𝘪𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘳𝘴—a love letter to nature, the night, and the delicate balance between the wild and man-made.
The duo revealed the “deeply immersive” process behind “Eyes Vanishing into the Night” (2026): thermal cameras set up in Hong Kong’s mountains, capturing wildlife that cautiously investigated the devices or passed by without a blink. “You need to use your imagination to see the road these animals walked,” they shared.
The exhibition’s auditory dimension was also discussed. Lai highlighted Chung Wong’s “A Secluded Trail towards an Unoccupied ___”(2023/2026), which features sound recordings collected from Lower Shing Mun Reservoir, Butterfly Valley Reservoir, and Mirror Pool Waterfall, extending the garden’s whispers into the city.
「『花園低語』邀請觀眾仔細聆聽棲居在我們身邊的眾多『低語者』。」
開幕當日,策展人賴文杰與藝術家組合 Benjamin Ryser 及黃加頌分享了「幽園夜夢」的幕後故事——一封寫給大自然、夜晚,以及野生與人造環境微妙平衡的情書。
藝術家組合揭曉《消失在夜色中的眼睛》(2026年)的「深度沉浸式」創作過程:於香港山區架設熱成像攝影機,記錄野生動物小心翼翼探索裝置或默默走過,連眼睛也不眨一下。「你需要發揮想像力,才能看見這些動物走過的路。」
展覽的聽覺維度亦是講座焦點。賴文杰特別提及黃頌恩的《通往幽僻小徑》(2023/2026年),作品採集自城門下城門水塘、蝴蝶谷水塘與鏡潭瀑布的聲音錄音,將花園的低語延伸至城市之中。
