身處二十一世紀的首幾十年，垃圾污染已經成為亞洲最大的生態危機之一。這些被視為垃圾的材料落於香港的藝術家和設計師手中，會否有不一樣的處理方法？
是次展覽搜集了多個藝術研究實例，香港藝術家及首飾設計師摒棄「廢物」與「珍寶」的既定價值觀，就不同「垃圾」提出了嶄新而具創意的升級再造實踐方案，為解決香港垃圾問題提供了新的想像。
In the first two decades of the twenty-first century, garbage pollution became one of Asia’s biggest ecological problems. How do artists and designers in Hong Kong engage with materials that are commonly perceived as trash?
Documenting creative engagement with ‘garbage’ materials, this exhibition shows examples of artistic research into upcycling and recycling strategies in Hong Kong art and jewellery design. Subverting concepts of what is waste and what is valuable, the research presented offers insights into the development of aesthetically appealing solutions to Hong Kong’s garbage problem.
