香港近年有不少人移民,相信是有所追求,但過程中難免都會懷念原居地。文晶瑩看塔可夫斯基(Andrei Tarkovsky)1983 創作「懷鄉」(Nostalghia)的尾段印象尤其深刻。主角拿著蠟燭走過温泉,據說如果蠟燭不熄滅,便可以拯救世界。燭光對於香港人和其他人來說是一個有意義的意象,它可以象徵光明、智慧、紀念、時間的流逝與希望。文晶瑩用錄像裝置回應這一片段,投射的影像前面有不同的反射物件,是一種阻礙,亦是一種幫助。影像被掩蔽,亦同時折射出更多光芒。

 

In recent years, some people in Hong Kong have immigrated. They each have their own reasons for leaving, but some of them inevitably miss their place of origin. This situation reminds Phoebe Man of Andrei Tarkovsky's 1983 film "Nostalghia". She was particularly impressed by the last section of the film, where the protagonist walks through the hot springs holding a candle. It is said that if the candle does not burn out, the world can be saved. Candlelight is a meaningful image for Hong Kong people and others. It can symbolize light, wisdom, remembrance, the passage of time and hope. Phoebe Man used a video installation to respond to this part of the film. There were different reflective objects in front of the projected image, which were both an obstacle and a help. The image was obscured, and more light was reflected at the same time.
