《邊界》攝影計劃於 2012 年中展開，目前仍在進行。作品曾於 2013 中國連州國際攝影年展之「鴛鴦 — 香港當代七人展」展出。
Terry’s ongoing project Border commenced in mid 2012. Border was exhibited in “Yuen Yeung – Contemporary Hong Kong Photography” of 2013 Lianzhou Foto in China.
邊界
一則香港邊境禁區分段解封的新聞，重提了那一道劃分兩地的邊界原是遊移不定。從一九五一年設立邊境禁區，到六二年擴大範圍，輾轉到現今逐步縮減。
通過簡便關卡，兩地以不同形式在頻密往來，彼此拉扯角力。可是，我們似乎總是無從掌握個中的轉化。
那則禁區解封的新聞令我猜想，也許事情的端倪本就埋藏在那一道邊界之下，著跡於兩地邊境之間？
Border
The Hong Kong – Mainland China border has been permanently changing – a fact reiterated with the recent news reporting that the Frontier Closed Area is gradually being reduced in size. Established since 1951, this closed area was once expanded in 1962 but now, it has shrunk.
People from both sides of the border can gain access to the opposite side at the Control Points – which signify a manifestation of the tension between the two systems that coexist side by side. Yet, it looks as if we can never have a firm grasp of the transformation of the situation.
It is what prompted my thoughts on our ever-changing border, which may show us the answers to the many questions arising from this transformation.
