梁志和的作品將於維也納的藝術空間PLANET H的展覽「Almut Rink / Leung Chi Wo」展出系列作品《The Date Series》。
「The Date Series began in 2017 with Leung Chi Wo’s visits to the locations where bomb attacks once took place during the 1967 riots. On the same date, at the same location, exactly fifty years later, the artist turns the camera skyward and captures the sky with black and white film.
The series evolves into an ongoing reading of news archive of violent events from bombing to domestic conflicts, sexual assaults and gang fights and the collection of these events have become a social diary with a personal touch when the artist was able to revisit the sites of violence.
In naming the images, Leung chose civil and personal events that happened on the day of the crime, bringing to the forefront coexistences of ephemeral yet notable timelines referenced by the very same images. Through polysemy and polyphony, Leung systematizes the contemplation and conception of two kinds of parallel worlds: one temporally synchronous but spatially distant, another temporally distinct yet spatially unified.」——— PLANET H
