urban wanderings 忙/茫/妄 (忘 遊)
for international orders, please order HERE instead**
“urban wanderings” is a compilation of past writings (in English and Chinese) and film photographs taken in Hong Kong. It is a printed product or “photo book”; but it is also a desperate (and delusional) attempt to remap and salvage one’s gradually dissipating identity, a lifelong quest for — for what? Perhaps an alternative to this vacant and ritualistic life, an elusive ideal that is forever unresolvable.
《忙/茫/妄（忘遊）》是一本菲林攝影和中英寫作集。它是一本印刷品、「攝影集」；但它本身也是一個充斥著無力感（和對理想生活的妄想）的載體。作者（攝影師）以圖文軿湊的過程重新梳理、反思、映射和極力挽救一個逐漸消散的身份和個人意識，從而設法釐清她終日對人生的真正追求。這追求是什麼？也許是對一種拒絕被同化的生存意識，一種會死而無憾的人生。但身為一個不知何時才能下班的打工仔，一個其實愛文學和創作但終日面對數字和商業策略圖表的夢想家，這是一種永遠難以捉摸和實現的理想。
