<h3>Event Details</h3>Mentor | Michelle ChanTime | 2024/11/23 2:30pm - 4:30pmLocation | Koon Man Space, 338 Route Twisk, Cheung Lung Village, Tsuen WanLanguage | CantoneseFee | $100 (refundable after attending the event) For the exhibition 'Mega Family—Imagining Home', participating artist Michelle Chan researched her husband's family recipes, tracing them back to the family's ancestral home in Shanwei, China. To document the linkage between family, food, and place, she photographed the ingredients as if they were landscapes, reflecting the complex idea of home we hold in our hearts. In this workshop, Chan encourages participants to bring 1-2 ingredients from one of their favourite family recipes. Together, they will slowly observe and study these ingredients, learn methods of staging them, and take close-up food photographs. In the process, participants will explore how photography can create new perspectives on everyday objects, using the concept of 'shanshui' from Chinese aesthetics. The workshop will close with a group discussion about the group's photographic creations. <h3>活動詳情</h3>導師 ｜陳韻芝時間 ｜2024/11/23 2:30pm - 4:30pm地點 ｜荃灣川龍村338荃錦公路貫文空間語言 ｜粵語費用 ｜$100（留位費，出席活動後可全數退回） 參展藝術家陳韻芝將擔任導師，引領參加者透過攝影欣賞家庭傳承中不同種類食物的形態美。工作坊建議參加者帶備相機和一兩種家族食譜中的食材，如雞蛋和番茄，於活動中一同慢慢觀察，學習如何擺放食材並拍攝近距離照片，以探索攝影如何創造不同視角。工作坊將融入中國山水美學，拍出具有獨特家庭風格的作品，並以小組討論和作品反思環節作結。 About the MentorMichelle Chan is a relational artist who works primarily in photography. She uses the camera and manipulated images to generate connections and conversations with people. Her works often touch upon the notion of home, sense of belonging, human connections, bonding, and familial relationships. More specifically, they reflect the inherited familial beliefs that inform our daily gestures and rituals, and explore Chinese beliefs that have become recurrent over centuries. She is the founder of Phoboko, a platform that brings people together through photobooks. As a community, Phoboko interrogates photography as a medium, promoting the vision of local Hong Kong artists in dialogue with other photographers in the Asia-Pacific region. 關於導師陳韻芝是一位主要以攝影作為創作媒介的關係藝術家。她擅長以相機和影像與人們建立聯繫與對話。其作品往往涉及家庭倫理、歸屬情感、人際關係等概念。更具體地說，她的作品反映了代代相傳的中國傳統信仰，和它們如何影響我們日常的行為及儀式。她還創立了《閾限谷》(Phoboko)，這一個通過攝影書及其所蘊含的各類主題以將人們匯聚、交流的平台。作為一個社群，《閾限谷》探討並思索攝影作為一種媒介，在與亞太地區的攝影師對話的同時，亦提升本地香港藝術家的視野。 The Hong Kong Photographic Culture Association is financially supported by the Art Development Matching Grants Scheme of the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
