1.10

列車開得愈來愈快,快得窗外甚麼都看不見了。
乘客漠不關心,報紙有魔力般把他們牢牢吸住。
我偷偷溜進車長室,誰知沒有人,甚麼都沒有,連剎車都沒有。
我心裡盤算著一次自我脫軌。
跳下去!跳下去!親身去走一段看得見的風景。

The train speed is escalating, too fast to even see the view through the window.
The apathetic passengers are seemingly immersed in the strangely enchanting world of newspaper.
Sneaking into the control room, I see no one, I see nothing, not even a brake.
I am plotting a derailment.
Jump! Jump! Jump and wander in a visible scenery.


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.’
