2009 Digital Video
HDV/ Color/ 43′

At Times Square in Hong Kong, I wait for people staying on the bench, who are probably waiting for someone. Videos are shot and edited for audience experience.

Waiting is a transitional stage before an event happens and time might be meaningful because of waiting. To me, waiting is an uneasy play with time in which it induces emotions dramatically and sometimes sufferings. It gives an intense experience of time and being, sometimes it is like a meditation or self reflection.

Since the advancement of technology, especially in transportation and communication, waiting becomes a basic part of daily life in the contemporary society. Much time is saved but people are less patient.

When economic effect and efficiency become the sole considerations for time measurement, an inhuman society will come as no surprise.

等待
2009 數碼錄像
高清/彩色/ 43′

在時代廣場上，我等待一些待在長凳、可能在等人的人。鏡頭下將情境拍攝成錄像後剪輯為短片。

等待是進行或發生一件事前的過渡階段。時間亦可能因等待變得有意義。就我而言，等待是令人情緒起伏，使人忐忑不安的一場(遊)戲，也可說成一種折磨。等待期間產生對時間強烈的感覺及自我存在感，有時像一種冥想或自省。

從當代社會看，等待已成為日常生活中主要組成部分。由於科技進步，特別在交通運輸及通訊，我們省下不少時間，但也失去耐心。

當一個社會將經濟效益及效率作為量度時間的大前題，我們不難看到它的涼薄無情。
