Pillow Halo 《枕頭光圈》,Jaffa Laam Lam 林嵐,Wood, Mirror, 木、鏡,75x95cm, 2020

這是新舊作品對話的裝置。「枕頭光圈」是我在2009起初念,在2013年完成的白色作品:我在夢中和一位早逝雕塑家-麥顯揚的枕邊話。七年後,我和他的話題仍離不開香港的狀態:這棵墨黑色的樹枝守護著/抓握著蒼白色的 「=」LED符號。這個年代,越來越不知道是非黑白,如何定奪?天秤兩邊,如何衡量?秩序公義,如何辯解?不知道他的回答是甚麼⋯⋯

The installation sets up a conversation between my old and new work. Pillow halo was made in 2009 while I was working for “ Looking for Antonio Mak” show, finished it in 2013. It’s about a pillow talk with an early-demised sculptor, Antonio Mak. 7 years later, the conversation about Hong Kong is still a common topic between us in the dream. The graphite covered wood twig is holding/catching pale white LED sign “ =”, shows my confusion and doubt about the current social situation. I’m still waiting his reply…
