Background

The Flowing Flowers is a site-specific light installation nestled within the waters of Tuen Mun Park. Situated in a vibrant residential heart of Hong Kong, Tuen Mun is a district defined by its dual identity: a historic landscape framed by the majestic Castle Peakand Tai Lam, and a bustling "New Town" that evolved from humble fishing and farming roots. This interplay between the permanence of the hills and the constant ebb and flow of urban transformation serves as the canvas for the work.

In this installation, artist Chiyung WONG explores how the poetic quality of light can reshape our dialogue with our surroundings. His research begins with a deep observation of the community and the site’s geography—a northwest coast where seaside vistas meet dense urbanity.


Poetic Dialogue of Light

Through a delicate choreography of light, the artwork projects a series of rhythmic patterns onto the water’s surface, generating intricate and mesmerizing reflections. These "flowing flowers" serve as a metaphor for the city itself—an entity in a constant state of flux, thriving and struggling through transformation, yet maintaining a profound fluidity through time.


Technological and Visual Poetry

The Flowing Flowers is both a light installation driven by complex "Technical-Art" transitions and a work of tangible visual poetry. It portrays the quiet strength of a life that flows like the tides, gently shifting its terrain over the years. By merging light with the movement of water, the artist creates a meditative space, inviting spectators to witness a luminous illustration of change and resilience.

背景 

《漂流的花朵》是一件座落於屯門公園水池的場域特定光影裝置。屯門位於香港充滿活力的住宅核心區,其獨特之處在於其雙重身份:一側是青山與大欖與之輝映的歷史景觀,另一側則是從漁農根源演變而來的繁華「新市鎮」。這種山巒的恆久與城市轉型間的消長,構成了本作的創作畫布。 


光影的詩意對話 

在此裝置中,藝術家王志勇探討了光影的詩意特質如何重塑我們與周圍環境的對話。他的研究始於對社區空間與地理環境的深度觀察——在屯門這片西北海岸,海濱風光與密集城區在此交匯。透過細膩的光影編排,作品在水面上投射出一系列富有節奏感的圖案,產生錯綜複雜且引人入勝的反照。這些「漂流的花朵」隱喻著城市本身:一個處於不斷變動中的生命體,在轉型的陣痛與繁榮中穿行,卻始終隨著時間流逝保持著一種深刻的流動性。


科技與視覺詩歌 《漂流的花朵》既是一項光影技術的實踐,也是一首具象的視覺詩。它描繪了生命如潮汐般流動的靜謐力量,在歲月中溫柔地改變著地貌。透過光影與水波的交融,藝術家創造了一個冥想空間,邀請觀眾共同見證這場關於轉變與韌性的靈動光影展現。
