天橋底 Under the Flyovers

每日路過都可看見的天橋底,存在著一片片介乎於看得見和看不見的公共空間。近得觸手可及,但又好像遙遠得在另一個平行時空。

非人性化的空間設計、運用、管理,被驅逐的無家者、小販等弱勢社群,詭異怪誕的雕塑及園林,明明只要我們願意停下片刻,不難想像這些空間背後所代表的意義,和曾經發生過的故事。或許,其實我們一直都很明白,只是我們都選擇了視若無睹,選擇了遺忘。

繁華背後,被隱没的景物和故事,從來都没有隨著我們的無視而消失,甚至還在不斷延續。

這就是我們香港的另一面。

 

Underneath the flyovers that we pass every day are patches of public space, with some catching our eyes and some being forgotten. They are so close that they are within reach, yet so far away that they seem to be in another parallel time and space.

In these spaces, we can see the use of impersonal spatial design and management, the eviction of the homeless, hawkers and other underprivileged people, as well as bizarre sculptures and gardens. If only we are willing to stop for a moment, it is not difficult to imagine the meaning behind these spaces and the stories that have happened. Perhaps we have always understood, but we have chosen to ignore them and forget them.

Behind the prosperity, the hidden scenery and stories have never disappeared with our ignorance. They are still going on.

That is the other side of Hong Kong.
