「第五個夏天」作為題目，沒有開始時間、沒有終止日期作提示，究竟是指那段時間？如由現在開始倒數，這五個夏天將始於2014年，2014年的確是令人難忘的一年，2015年如是、2016年如是、2017年如是、2018年如是、2019年更甚……

是次展覽以夏天作為題目，感覺抽象，但作品視覺上不算抽象，反而當中包含大量深沉、隱晦與曖昧。本展覽將展示兩組動畫作品，分別於去年及今年完成。藝術家黃小玲(June)透過素描、剪貼、塗改再畫、逐幀逐幀拍攝，再串連成單格動畫。內容是日常景觀、日常事物、日常聲音，在經過黑白畫面的處理、跳格的影像重置、加上對現實的無力、對生活的無助，通通反映到兩組動畫作品上。

兩組作品分別題為《回去》(2019)及《關於夏天的一張畫》 (2018)。前者應該是表達對近年中國於香港「霸王硬上弓」式融合的個人體會；後者似乎是表達我們作為香港人被疑似(香港)人折騰的無奈心聲。香港一貫的多姿多采，在June的作品沒有出現，取而代之是過度的單色調。這種色調就彷彿成為五個夏天的總結，並預視了今個夏天也是沉鬱告終。

展覽於2019年6月22日(星期六)正式開幕，展期至7月15日。費用全免，歡迎各位參觀。藝術家June將出席開幕，歡迎各位蒞臨交流及分享。

What does “The 5th Summer” mean? This name does not specify an exact beginning or an end. If we look back at the past five years, we can assume that the first of the five summers began in 2014. 2014 truly was an evocative year, which can also be said for 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018. Whereby, 2019 may be an even more evocative year than the past.

The theme of the exhibition, Summer, sounds very abstract, but the artworks within are not abstract at all. Instead, every piece of work possesses a deep, nebulous and equivocal manner. The exhibition will feature two sets of stop motion artworks, one set completed last year and the latter in this year. The artist June, WONG Siu Ling, integrates a series of sketches and collages to create her stop motion pieces, which feature images and sounds of everyday life. Yet, through the use of a monochromatic palette and a series of photomontage, June is able to reflect the sense of melancholy in everyday life.

The stop motion pieces are called “Return” (2019) and “Draw A Summer” (2018). These pieces both seem to allude to the way China has been forcefully attempting to encroach on Hong Kong in recent years. It may also allude to the helplessness that most Hong Kongers feel, when we are tortured (by those so-called Hong Kongers). The typical vibrant scenes of Hong Kong cannot be found in June’s work, but are replaced by monochrome images of dull and mundane scenes. The choice of this monochrome palette marks the ending of the five summers, and also foreshadows that the summer of 2019 will also end in desolation.

The exhibition will officially be open on 22nd June, 2019 (Saturday) and end on 15th July, 2019. The exhibition is free of charge and everyone is welcome. The artist, June, will be at the official opening ceremony, where all are welcome to attend, to meet her and to share with her your thoughts on the exhibition.
