GNMA – 跑到了群馬縣的山上
展期：2019 夏季 Summer
作品簡介 Introduction
在 2017年春天，梁凱淩參與了一項藝術家駐留計劃，在日本群馬縣鬼石町，一個位處山上，人口只有約七千人的小社區內居住六週，並進行紀錄片拍攝。
受到當地居民對生活的熱情與活力所感染，在進行紀錄片創作的同時，她開始在這小鎮內四處亂跑，拿著相機拍下當地的各種人和事，用單純的心去探索這座山上人們簡樸卻歡樂的日常。
在駐留計劃完成後，她把在群馬縣拍攝的照片整理出版了《GNMA – 跑到了群馬縣的山上》攝影集以及當地拍攝的一齣紀錄短片《Lucky Boy》。該片記述一位單親父親，如何在大自然以及跟農民的相交中追尋他理想中的生活方式。此短片早前於「Amsterdam Lift-Off Film Festival」榮獲「Special Mention Winner」及於「Paris Lift-Off Festival」中放映。而該系列中的照片亦在該年度的 TIFA Awards的紀實攝影類別中獲得銀獎。
In 2017 spring, Etienne joined an artist residence program, exploring the lives in Japan’s Gunma prefecture is a photo series shot by Etienne Leung during her 6-week artist residency in Onishi, a small town located in Fujioka, Gunma, Japan.
This photography project worked in parallel with Etienne’s short documentary film Lucky Boy – a story about a young single father, who pursues the healthy lifestyle through his relationship with nature and her daughter Asako.I began to document on whatever I saw with my film camera since the day I arrived in Onishi, and within a short period of time I was able to make strong connections with the locals. Everyone to me was an “artist”, and generally very hands-on : retired Biwa rockstar, ceramist, tea ceremony artist etc. As I spent more time on exploring their farm lives, I then learnt how simplicity brought themselves happiness. As a city girl, I hope to convey what I learnt from them through my creative approach.
