The artwork│作品

Samson Young 楊嘉輝

The World Falls Apart into Facts, 2019

• Before looking at the artwork, let’s play the song Molihua (Jasmine flower) in your head.
  在觀看楊嘉輝的作品之前，請先在腦海唱一次《茉莉花》。
• Now listen to the Horse Togaku from the exhibition (video 3:41). This piece of music is composed by the artist and juxtaposed with lyrics from John Barrow’s version of Molihua. Can you resemble it with your version of Molihua?
  現在，仔細聆聽展覽中的 《Horse Togaku》（影片 3:41）。這首音樂是由藝術家創作，並與約翰‧巴羅版本的茉莉花中的歌詞並列。跟你熟悉的《茉莉花》相似嗎？
• Kenny G’s influence on Hong Kong pop music and centuries-unchanged Japanese Togaku are the other two examples that the artist used to question the notions of cultural purity and authenticity. Can you think of other examples from our everyday life that are the result of cross-culture encounters?
  藝術家利用 Kenny G 對香港流行音樂的影響，和從中國傳入日本，並保留下來唐代宮廷音樂，來質疑「文化正統」的真實性。你能從日常生活中找到其他跨文化相遇的例子嗎？
   

• In the center of the work, there is an upside-down Venus de Milo sculpture. The 3D printed model only reproduces the middle section of the sculpture. 在作品的中間位置，有一個倒轉，用3D打印技術製作的《米洛的维纳斯》（Venus de Milo）雕塑。模型僅複製雕塑的中間部分。 
• Do you remember how does Venus de Milo looks like? Can you recognize it from this 3D printed model?
  你記得《米洛的维纳斯》的雕塑是什麼樣子嗎？你可以從這個3D打印模型中認出它嗎？
• Venus de Milo is one of the well-known sculptures in world history. Upon the first arrival of the statue to the Louvre Museum in the 19th century, the authorities acclaimed it as a Classical Grecian masterpiece. However, more evidence had been discovered to refute the official claims. Until now, visitors to the Louvre today see only a plaque that makes no mention of the sculptor.
  《米洛的维纳斯》是世界著名的雕塑作品之一。當雕像於19世紀首次到達羅浮宮博物館時，當局稱讚它為古典希臘傑作。但是，後來發現更多的證據來駁斥官方的主張。到目前為止，今天的羅浮宮參觀者只能看到一塊匾牌，當中並沒有提到雕刻家是誰。
• Can you relate the Venus de Milo and Molihua from their behind stories? Why did the authorities accept the inaccurate accounts for those works?
  你能從《米洛的维纳斯》和民謠《茉莉花》的背後故事中找到它們相似之處嗎？為什麼專家學者等權威人士會接受這些作品的不實陳述？

• In the cabinet, the artist has showcased the half-sized flute he has used in the performance. Do see the flute from the video? Can you hear the sound of the flute?
  在櫥櫃中，藝術家展示了他在表演中使用的短笛。從視頻中看到短笛嗎？你能聽到短笛的聲音嗎？
• As known that the artist purchased it from a souvenir shop. Can you think of the reasons for using the unusual instrument for performance?
  短笛是藝術家從旅遊紀念品商店購買的。你能想到使用這非常規樂器進行演奏的原因嗎？
