Welcome to UMAG’s 𝘔𝘢𝘯 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘙𝘦𝘥 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘤 𝘉𝘢𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘏𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘒𝘰𝘯𝘨!

The University Museum and Art Gallery, The University of Hong Kong will feature a video titled Man with Red Plastic Bag in Hong Kong from December 5, 2024 to January 12, 2025. This film project by the artist Prof. David Clarke is composed of a series of clips shot in 2014 that feature a red plastic bag at various locations in Hong Kong. Most of the clips present the bag in its natural habitat—the Hong Kong streetscape—highlighting the city’s diversity along the way, and suggesting that the Hong Kong streets might be the video’s real subject.

As described by Clarke, “for some reason, red plastic bags have long been a common feature of the Hong Kong streetscape—an ubiquitous part of market stalls and smaller, non-brand-name stores frequented by everyday people. You might even describe them as being an underappreciated cultural icon.”

The documentary style is undermined by the inclusion of several staged clips, blurring the boundary between fact and fiction and influencing how viewers perceive the overall video. Not long after this piece was made, a 2015 extension of the plastic bag levy introduced a charging structure that greatly affected stores that had previously given away the bags for free. As a result, it is now much less common to see red plastic bags around Hong Kong.

歡迎來到香港大學美術博物館最新影片項目《在香港攜著紅色膠袋的人》!

香港大學美術博物館將於2024年12月5日至2025年1月12日期間,展出一部名為《在香港攜著紅色膠袋的人》的影片。此影片項目由藝術家祈大衛教授創作,以一系列拍攝於2014年的片段所組成,其主角為一個在香港各處出現的紅色膠袋。當中大部分片段將膠袋呈現於它的原生環境:香港的街頭巷尾之中,藉以凸顯這座城市的多樣性,揭示或許香港街頭景觀才是影片的真正主題。

正如祈氏所形容:「不知何故,紅色膠袋長久以來都是香港街景的常見特色——大眾日常光顧的街市攤檔和小型、非品牌店舖中隨處可見的一部分。或者,你甚至會形容它為一個未被充分重視的文化象徵。」

影片本身的紀錄片風格被數個刻意安排拍攝的片段削弱,事實與虛構之間的界線因此變得模糊,影響了觀者對影片整體的解讀。在完成這件作品不久之後,膠袋徵費在2015年擴大涵蓋範圍,引入了收費機制。這對此前慣常免費派發膠袋的商店帶來顯著影響。亦因如此,現時在香港街頭得見紅色膠袋的情景已越發罕見。
