Holun Tang

1.9

黃色的、紅色的、棕色的、紫色的,
地上枯乾的葉子,繼續被風慢慢侵蝕,
從邊沿開始一點一點地粉碎。
已經脫落的葉子散發著一股快要將生命交還的苦澀味道,粗糙而溫暖。
為什麼氣味會持續這麼久呢?我這麼想著。

Yellow, red, brown, purple…
Dried leaves on the ground continue to be slowly eroded by wind,
Starting from the edge, bit by bit, they turn into dust.
The fallen leaves give out a bitter scent of the moment to hand back one’s life; a rough but warm scent.
Why does the scent linger? I wonder.


他有種說故事的本領,用影像帶你跟隨他的步調,以緩慢的節奏觀看生活中的不經意。鄧浩倫,香港攝影師,先後發表過攝影集《Maybe a sentence or something》(2013)、《Stairs》(2014)、《聽靜》(2016)。喜在不尋常的視角看待尋常景物,相比起充滿城市緊張感、呈現香港繁喧印象的攝影,他的作品是個異數。題材單一平淡,風格安靜內斂,但他認為「真正單調的,是我們看待生命的態度」。

He is a talented narrator; in an unhurried pace, you are led by visual images to watch the trivial matters of life.  Published photobooks by the Hong Kong photography Ho Lun Tang include Maybe a sentence or something in 2013, Stairs in 2014 and Listen quietly in 2016. While most of the photography works tend to depict Hong Kong as a bustling and tense city, Tang is definitely a peculiar photographer who gazes at the usual objects from an unusual angle. He uses a modest attitude to document monotonous subjects in his photography, for he believes ‘what is truly monotonous is our approach to life.’
