　　后高清时代的香港摄影群像

　　摄影涵盖我们生活的点线面，它更可在不同平台，如印刷、互联网、艺术馆等提供交流讯息作用。香港踏入高清视讯广播已近一年，画质的提升改变大众阅读影像的习惯：高解像宽屏幕电视宛如一幅巨大摄影作品让我们更专注构图每一细节，整套增强眼球活动的观赏行为逆转了视频广播的线性时空，把流光逝影凝固成一独立静止画面。这潜移默化的视觉鉴赏经验将会带动沉寂的艺术摄影作正面发展，在迎向后高清时代莅临之际，我们要承先启后，由认识香港当代摄影着眼。

　　《影像当代香港摄影展》从历史脉络及摄影多样的风格和形式取向，展出当代四十多位最杰出及活跃的本地摄影和新媒体艺术家所表达的香港影像，约一百五十幅作品，范畴包括纪实、报导、肖像、概念、混合、装置和新媒体。此展览取材有关香港本土近六十年不同议题，包括城市保育、旧区贫民、街头抓拍、消费文化、政治生态和私摄影等，以多元的视觉语言使观众从崭新的方法及媒介去了解身处之地，借着系谱形式有秩序整理艺术家想象中的香港面貌，进而提高市民对香港的感知而引发民间更大创意。

　　与亚洲其它国家相比，姗姗来迟的香港艺术摄影刚踏进青年期，正处于选择前途的焦虑当中；《影像当代香港摄影展》博览群像、集思广益，盼能呈现一个开放式的分类图谱供日后研究。近期的金融海啸把大部分财产席卷一空，回归俭朴恰巧是参予文化活动的良辰，让我们以击浪青春的姿态拥抱那未知的时代！

　　Hong Kong Photography in the Post Hi-Definition Era

　　The versatility of photography in our daily lives will further enhance within the Hi-Definition television broadcast; there is a propensity for us to freeze-frame hyper sharp video as single photographs, paying attention to image details apart from the script delivered. These subconscious activities leading to better connoisseurship of still photographic image will rekindle the recent stagnated development of Art Photography in Hong Kong. It is vital to acknowledge the history of this specific art practice before embrace ourselves into the upcoming era.

　　“Imaging Hong Kong: Contemporary Photography Exhibition” offers a clear picture of Hong Kong Art Photography development. With over 40 photographers and 150 works about our city since the middle of last century, it includes various aspects of photography from social documentary, photo-journalism, portraitures, conceptual art, photo installation to the mixed and new media. Thematic explorations of Hong Kong from past 60 years in the areas of urban renewal, poor people from old regions, snap shooting, consumerism, politics and subjective photography are categorized and addressed. This exhibition highlights the artistic imagination of Hong Kong from selected calibers; it is hoped the exhibits will enlighten the public’s interest to our social environment and encourage their passion to photographic practices or appreciation in the near future.

　　Visual Arts Thematic Exhibition 08/09 Project

　　“Imaging Hong Kong- Contemporary Photography Exhibition” is the third exhibition project of the “Visual Arts Thematic Exhibition Project” series, which is co-presented by PH5 Photo Group, Edge Architects, Hong Kong Press Photographers Association and The Photocrafters. “Visual Arts Thematic Exhibition Project” is a large-scale visual arts activity presented by Hong Kong Arts Development Council and Leisure and Cultural Department.
