《香港霓虹燈 - 序》
🇭🇰香港時與霓虹燈扯上關係,被稱為霓虹之城?霓虹燈是香港街道文化的核心,象徵了香港8、90年代的輝煌。在《傾城》一曲中,「傳說中癡心的眼淚會傾城 霓虹熄了世界漸冷清」,霓虹熄滅象徵傾覆的城市;在西九M+博物館,霓虹燈是一項重點專題;在世界的電影裏,香港霓虹燈是一名常客;於《Kongceptual Pop 通俗文化x流行樂章》計畫,霓虹燈是第一個題材! ⚠️情報 |歌名 |《霓虹叢林》⚠️ @lagchun @yungsiuting 🌃「香港夜景打卡必去!科幻!美麗!消失中!」霓虹燈是香港夜景的重點元素,但它正隨時代巨輪而逝,僅餘一些大押當舖、桑拿和少量的店鋪還保留著霓虹燈箱。近年大眾對霓虹燈的關注度提高了,除了以相機紀錄,如到佐敦《太平館餐廳》打卡,我們亦應該了解它承載的故事和意義。雖然作為90/00後,可能你對霓虹燈沒有那麼深厚的感情,你可能會問:「現在的香港哪有這麼多霓虹燈?這種過時的產物與我何干?反正香港的輝煌已逝。」 ❓❓作為香港人,我們一直在探索自己的身份,到底是搵錢至上,屬於世界的無根草;還是擁抱本地文化的香港人?如果是後者,那該如何追溯/釐定香港的生存印記?認識自己的家?「霓虹燈」是重要的一課。時代造就了英雄,並滋養了霓虹燈的成長。霓虹燈代表了一個時代,在短短的香港歷史內,難道這不重要嗎?接下來,讓我們亮起各自的霓虹,成為造就時代的英雄,開啟霓虹燈的新一段歷史。 在往後發佈的文章、影片、歌曲, 將會帶領大家繼續探索霓虹燈與香港,歷史、現況、原理、未來等等...續.... 仲有!多謝 @kowloneon 提供關於霓虹燈嘅資訊 Aric Chen陳伯康(Curator, Design and Architecture, M+設計及建築主策展人):
「Neon signs are everywhere but things that we maybe we don’t pay attention to sometimes, because of their ubiquity, because we are used to them. But if you take a closer look, you see them as a very compelling example of things that were crafted and designed for a certain way for a certain “reason”. And it has been used by artists, film-makers and so on as emblems of the city.」 Hong Kong was known as a Neon City, neon light was the core of HK's street culture and symbolises the glorious era, 80/90s, of HK. For foreigners, the beauty of HK neon light is captured in many movies e.g. the neon-lit street scenes in “Blade Runner”. And it is the first topic of our latest music project - 《Kongceptual Pop 通俗文化x流行樂章》. ⚠️Song Name: 《Neon Jungle》
What Neon Light means to Hongkongers? Be frank, If you are born in the 90/00s, you may not have a strong attachment and feelings for neon light, or you may ask: "There are very few neon signs left, why should I care about it when even the glory of HK is dimming?". People in HK have been exploring their own identity: “Am I the citizen of the global village or a Hongkonger who embraces HK culture?” If it is the latter, how should they trace back/determine the life story of HK? Neon Signs represented an era of HK. Then, each of us shall light up our own neon light and create the era of our time. ---🔔follow @kongcept852🔔---
