Gallery EXIT 安全口画廊将举行方琛宇的首个画廊个展 -《记忆障碍》。展览将展示方氏的录像装置新作。作品利用多个屏幕，展示不同的零碎片段，影片取至各种影像纪录装置，超八米厘摄影机，视讯摄影机，数码摄影机，照相机及电话。影像主要描绘不同人物的脸孔，他们从不同的屏幕中出现，然后消失。
回忆是根据相关的心理状态，或是按照时序而出现？方氏对回忆的随机性产生疑问。他以个人经历作为蓝本，借着动态影像的显现与消褪，编织记忆与想象的经验。片段中渗透情感的场景，都是源自他个人面对的内心冲突，以及探求未知的青涩冲动。借着这些零碎的叙事片段，方氏提出问题：我们会否想忘记？
方氏现于香港中文大学修读艺术硕士课程。他的录像、装置及新媒体作品曾于亚洲及欧洲的展览及放映会展示。他于2009年获香港当代艺术双年奖——青年艺术家奖, 其作品亦获澳门艺术馆中国行为艺术文献收藏。
艺术家将会出席开幕酒会。

Silas Fong
Memory Disorder
21 April - 21 May, 2011
Opening Reception: Thursday, 21 April 2011, 6 - 8 pm
Gallery EXIT, 1 Shin Hing Street, Central, Hong Kong
Hours: Mon - Sat, 1100 - 1900
Gallery EXIT is pleased to present Memory Disorder, the first solo exhibition of Silas Fong with the gallery. The exhibition is a video installation consisting of 26 videos, slide shows and text captions. The videos are captured by telecine super 8 film, webcam, cellphone, camera and digital video of different qualities.
With Memory Disorder, Fong investigates how the temporality of memory comes into play. In our consciousness, the images that one sees prompt an associate with images drawn from our memory. This often triggers flashbacks and even imagined events. Our minds are often a sequence of randomly connected scenes. Is there an ordering for memories? Are they organized chronologically or dependent on one's state of mind, or an inseparable mixture of both?
By using his biography as a specimen, Fong choreographs an experience of immerging in memories and imagination by letting moving images appear and disappear. The scenes are drawn from personal encounters with conflict, the youthful urge to search for something not known, people to empathize with and places imbued with affection. According to Fong, the work is an on-going fragmented narrative that raises the question: "do we want to forget, or not?"
Silas Fong (b. 1985) is currently a MFA candidate at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. His video, installation and new media works have been exhibited in Europe and Asia. In 2009, He received the Young Artist Award of at The Hong Kong Contemporary Art Biennial. His work is collected by the Documentaries of Chinese Performance Art collection of the Macao Museum of Art.
The artist will be present at the opening reception.
