活動內容簡介 Programme Introduction

《虎豹瑪莉x心象社——一本攝影小誌的誕生》

新時代下，影像泛濫之餘，看照片多僅局限在手機的小方格螢幕上下滑動（Slide），印刷品已日漸式微，一本獨立攝影小誌（PhotoZine）在這個講求效率的香港有甚麼存在價值或意義？然後攝影小誌又如何回應社會以及攝影本身。

是次分享會會由「虎豹瑪莉」以及「心象社」兩個截然不同風格的獨立攝影小誌出版團體，由構思主題、揀選相片、編排、設計、印刷等，向觀眾介紹如何整作一本攝影小誌，以及如何回應社會。

‘Fupao Mary X Menos - the Birth of a Photography Zine’

In the contemporary era, amidst an overwhelming flood of images, viewing photographs has largely been confined to sliding up and down on the small, grid-like screens of smartphones. Printed media is gradually fading into obscurity. In a fast-paced, efficiency-driven city like Hong Kong, what value or significance does an independent photography zine (PhotoZine) hold? Furthermore, how can a PhotoZine respond to both societal issues and the essence of photography itself?

This sharing session will feature two distinct independent photography zine publishers—“FuPao Mary” and “Menos”—each with their unique styles. They will guide the audience through the process of creating a PhotoZine, from conceptualizing themes, selecting photographs, editing, designing, to printing. Through this, they will also explore how these zines address societal concerns and reflect on the art of photography.

講者簡介 Speaker Bio

虎豹瑪莉：馮凱鍵，失智家，資深報紙佬，攝影小誌《虎豹瑪莉》創刊人之一，現居香港。曾獲廿多個國內外新聞攝影獎項，作品曾於香港、台北、柏林、多倫多、維也納展出。近年發見攝影無用，惟繼續「發夢」可取。遂自困於暗室「發夢」，以創作為一種儀式繼續「發夢」。

FuPao Mary: Fung Hoi Kin, a veteran photojournalist and one of the co-founders of the photography zine FuPao Mary, currently base in Hong Kong. He has received over 20 domestic and international photojournalism awards, with his works exhibited in Hong Kong, Taipei, Berlin, Toronto, and Vienna. In recent years, he has come to see photography as “useless,” yet he persists in “dreaming” as a worthwhile pursuit. Thus, he confines himself to the darkroom to “dream,” using creation as a ritual to sustain his “dreaming.”

組織簡介 About your organisation

“虎豹瑪莉, FuPao Mary”

《虎豹瑪莉》是一本獨立出版的攝影Zine，於2021年創刊，由六位香港攝影人陳焯煇、AK、馮凱鍵、PW、Paul Yeung和Ballade Ho主編，每期以各自迴異的主題回應時代與社會，現有四期，分別是第一期「失禁」、第二期「流離」、第三期「（）」以及特別號「毛」。

FuPao Mary is an independently published photography zine, first launched in 2021. It is edited by six Hong Kong photographers—Chan Cheuk Fai, AK, Fung Hoi Kin, PW, Paul Yeung, and Ballade Ho. Each issue explores distinct themes to respond to the times and society. To date, four issues have been released: Issue 1 “Incontinence,” Issue 2 “Displacement,” Issue 3 “(),” and a special edition “Hair.”

“心象社, Menos”

本地攝影團體心象社Menos 成立於2018年，成員風格各異，集結不同身份，各具特色，在各自的崗位記錄社會百態。成軍一年後，結集眾多成員的作品，推出攝影集《Prologue》。《Prologue》 首期以「Hong KongStreet」作為主題，將香港的街頭百態收進取景器，集一眾志同道合攝影師的大成，提出不同的社會觀點。發表首期後，Ménos開始著手編纂《Prologue》的第二本攝影集，惟當時因變動不定的社會因素而擱置計劃。2021年，Ménos再度重啟企劃，把相片重新整理，改變直白的紀實手法，採用概念性的手法訴說香港故事，最終集結成《也無風雨也無晴》。攝影集《也無風雨也無晴》，命題取自蘇軾詞作《定風波·莫聽穿林打葉聲》，以天氣喻壓抑情緒，並利用這個命題作影像伸延。

The local photography group Menos was established in 2018, with members showcasing diverse styles and backgrounds, each bringing their unique perspectives while documenting various facets of society in their respective roles. One year after its formation, the group compiled the works of numerous members and published the photography collection Prologue. The inaugural issue of Prologue took “Hong Kong Street” as its theme, capturing the myriad scenes of Hong Kong’s streets through the viewfinder. It represented a collective achievement of like-minded photographers, offering diverse social viewpoints. Following the release of the first issue, Menos began working on the second volume of Prologue. However, the project was put on hold due to unpredictable social circumstances at the time. In 2021, Menos relaunched the initiative, reorganizing the photographs and shifting from a straightforward documentary approach to a conceptual one to narrate Hong Kong’s story. This effort culminated in the creation of No Wind, No Rain, No Sunshine. The title of the photography collection No Wind, No Rain, No Sunshine is derived from Su Shi’s poem Calming the Waves: Don’t Listen to the Sound of Rain Striking the Leaves, using weather as a metaphor for suppressed emotions, and extending this theme through imagery.
