“Home: Heartbeat is the Only Distance”- Overview 展覽概覽

The exhibition “Home: Heartbeat is the Only Distance” is open! Thank you all for attending. This showcase brings together the creative practices of ten groups of artists and students to explore the multifaceted concept of “Home.”

Rather than presenting a singular definition, the exhibition offers a collection of deeply personal responses—viewing “Home” as the fundamental source of emotion and existence in the artists’ lives. We cordially invite you to step into the inner worlds of these creators through their works, and to experience the profound tension of art that transcends the boundaries of language.

展覽「家.心跳是唯一的距離」正式開幕了! 這次匯聚了十組藝術家與同學的創意實踐,探索「家」之概念。在此,觀眾所見的並非單一的定義,而是對「家」——作為藝術家生命中情感與存在之源的一系列個人回應。本展覽邀請您透過作品走進藝術家們的內心世體驗藝術的越超越語言的張力。

Ecos de la infancia
童年迥聲

2024

Mixed media on canvas
布面混合媒材

77 x 86 cm

This work gathers family photographs into a collective archive, intertwining personal history with studies on how technology influences memory. By optimizing information and color, I weave pixels that symbolize the compression of memories, resulting in landscapes
submerged between reality and fiction. This process reflects how memories fade, become distorted, and are abstracted over time. Even in this compression, beauty emerges from the dance between what we remember and what we forget.

這項作品將家庭照片匯集為一個集體檔案庫,將個人歷史與科技如何影響記憶的研究交織在一起。透過優化資訊與色彩,我編織出象徵記憶壓縮的像素,從而呈現出游走於現實與虛構之間的景觀。這個過程反映了記憶如何隨時間流逝而淡去、扭曲並被抽象化。即使在這種壓縮之中,美依然從我們所記得與所遺忘的事物之間的交織中浮現。

Ane Alfeiran

First Time I Died
初次凋零與重生

2025

Gel print on canvas
布面凝膠印刷

30 × 40 cm

This self-portrait captures the raw vulnerability of pregnancy and the profound transformation of childbirth. By digitally altering and repeating the image, I mimic the shifting loops of memory, while the gel transfer texture blurs the lines like the passage of time. This work explores the” death “of the former self and the rebirth of the mother—a silent, powerful transition where identity shifts, finding beauty in the grief of what is lost.

這幅自畫像捕捉了懷孕時那份赤裸的脆弱,以及分娩帶來的深刻蛻變。透過數位修圖與圖像重複,我模擬了記憶中不斷變幻的迴圈;而凝膠轉印的質感則如時光流逝般,模糊了界線。這件作品探討了舊我「死亡」與母親重生的過程——這是一場靜默而強大的轉變,在身份認同的轉換中,於失去之物的悲傷中尋得美。

Enfance (childhood in French)
童年

2022

Mixed media on wood (acrylic, pastels, paper, wood)
木板混合媒材作品(壓克力顏料、粉彩、紙張、木材)

Triptyque: 55 x 24.5 cm (×2) & 55 × 69.5 cm
三聯畫:55x 24.5 厘米(兩幅)和55× 69.5 厘米

This painting-collage was inspired by a souvenir. I reflected on my family, places, and my journey leading me to Hong Kong. Past, present, and future are interconnected. Absence is now utterly present. The delight of using and coalescing materials was aligned with this voyage, and together they convey a feeling of a full circle of my life.

這幅繪畫拼貼作品的靈感來自於一件紀念品。我從中回想起我的家人去過的地方,以及我來到香港的旅程。過去、現在和未來相互交織,缺席如今已然完全臨在。運用和融合各種材料的樂趣與這段旅程相契合,它們共同傳遞出我生命圓滿的感受。

A Present for and from my Family
家書

2024

Handmade paper from Zongzi’s leaves, egg carton, seeds, and white rice
由糉葉、雞蛋盒、果核、塵埃製成的手造紙、白米

14.5 x 20 cm

Returned home under the curtains of night,
There was a bowl of pitted grapes sat inside the fridge light.
Raid in the stomach from the pain of emotions,
The medicines of peace stand In the second role of the cabinet.
It turns out to be
the days without fruits, the illness would befall;
dust filter must be cleaned, the allergies missed;
the early summer that folds by the fragrance leaves,
contains the taste of home within.

深夜回家打開冰箱 一碗已挑核的提子
情緒突襲肚子劇痛 櫃子第二格的平安藥
原來沒有水果的日子會特別容易生病
原來隔塵網需要定期清理才能避免過敏
原來初夏糉葉的清香是家的味道。

Artwork showcase in the exhibition - 展出作品

Like Lathe, Like Stylus
如車床,如唱針

2026

Butane, brass, and compressed air on wood
丁烷、黄銅與壓縮空氣在木頭上

124 x 184 × 5 cm

Part of Damian Boylan’s Fire Paintings series, Like Lathe, Like Stylus uses combustion and compressed air to explore inherited familial patterns. By carbonizing wood to create grooves resembling a vinyl record, Boylan creates a metaphor for how character and temperament pass between generations. The work reflects on the artist’s relationship with his father and his own son, using brass accents to symbolize the delicate, inevitable interplay between ancestral influence and individual autonomy.

Damian Boylan 火繪系列的一部分,如車床,如唱針運用燃燒與壓縮空氣,探索代代相傳的家族模式。博伊蘭透過將木材碳化形成宛如黑膠唱片的凹槽,以此隱喻性格與氣質如何在世代間流傳。這件作品反思了藝術家與其父親及自己兒子的關係,並運用黃銅裝飾,象徵祖先影響與個人自主性之間那微妙而必然的互動。
