In their words
《我愛夜來香 》這套電影,非常突顯出香港中西合璧的獨特性,電影以二戰作為時代背景,在極度西化的佈景之中呈現了香港發生的一個支援大陸抗戰的間諜故事。電影中有一段情節是進入敵人的堡壘救援朋友,期間使用了救生繩索。
放在今時今日的時代背景,香港人需要救援,英國所拋出的救生繩索讓我們重穫自由。因此我選擇了這個場景和畫面去重現成相片。
The film "All the Wrong Spies" strikingly captures Hong Kong's unique East-meets-West character. Set against the backdrop of the Second World War, it tells the story of espionage in support of the mainland's war of resistance, staged amidst highly Westernised sets. One sequence in the film involves infiltrating an enemy fortress to rescue a comrade, during which a lifeline rope is used.
Viewed through the lens of the present day, the people of Hong Kong are in need of rescue, and the lifeline thrown by Britain has allowed us to regain our freedom. It is for this reason that I chose this scene and image to recreate as a photograph.
