我是
I AM.
A portrait of a generation.
"I am proud to be who I am. I am proud of my look. I AM."
There is a phenomenon in Hong Kong where young tourists come to take photos and act like supermodels.
The vast majority are young women. From cool hip-hop style, to sweet girl-next-door style, people choose to dress up stylishly for the photos.
There are a few places in Hong Kong which are “must-go photo spots”.
People queue up to take pictures
They respectfully wait until the previous ones have finished taking the photos before taking their place
They strike poses, and act as professional models. Here, the model directs the photo shoot.
They have a very precise idea of the results they want to have.The photographer is purely here to press the shutter button.
The model has full control of the images.
After a few poses, the model checks the results, gives their instructions to the photographer, and the process starts again.It’s an immutable ballet.
I invite them to pose for me, and to be models.
The session is very quick, around ten photos in a minute or two.
HOPE
An original art installation from Cyril Delettre
Inspired by his series HOPE (on going since 2022), art photographer Cyril Delettre settles an original installation for you to experiment physically entering the art piece.
Cyril Delettre's installation symbolises human ability to transform darkness into colors : you enter the Black and White portrait to go through the bright hidden hopes and reach the colorful character. On the path, entering somebody else’s spririt, Cyril Delettre invites you to go through her HOPE and rediscover yours.
HOPE series is a momentum.
“I would like to challenge the new generation, the 20’s who face the future.
Who are you and who will you be ?
You read everywhere “There is no more future !”
My statement:
Nothing is written. Never underestimate who you are and what you can do to change the world !
I refuse to give up. You new generation have all right and necessity to believe that there is still option for a bright future.
Embrace the world with enthusiasm and change it, you have this power.
Otherwise there is no more light to hope.
The exhibition spreads positive energy to all of us as a community.
Artistic choice:
I wanted to create a portrait in motion, similar as a ballet.
It represents the multiple emotions of the 20 years old generation facing the possibilities of their/our futures.
Each of their choice is world impacting, a challenge for the model but also for all of us as a community.
The dark portraits reflect the uncertainty of their times but each one backs onto a bright colour and a positive thought.
The air goes through as it waves the Tibetan prayers book : the wind unveils and spread the positive attitude.”
Walk Don't Walk
「我用鏡頭捕捉在十字路口陷入沉思的路人。
他們猶如舞台上的演員，各自背負著上千個故事。
時間彷彿停頓，結束等待的一刻也看似遙遙無期。
他們近乎靜止。路中穿梭的巴士與電車築成我與他們之間的布幕。
在短暫的一刻中，路人停止腳步；我嘗試把他們停頓的時間與城市的速度作出對比。
對我來說，時間重疊的影像就是香港的縮影。」
– Cyril Delettre
Wild City
「我在香港的攝影之旅引領我把創意寄予城市的街頭。我每天都會遇到長駐於荷李活道創作的藝術家蘇五雲，而在《Wild City》系列裡，我把他的中國水墨畫引入我的攝影作品中。他繪畫在再造宣紙上的動物為相片中的牆壁賦予生命，從而讓我融合各個南轅北轍，卻又在這座城市中共存的種種：西方當代建築與東方傳統動物、混凝土與紙張、都市的污染與再造物料、我在流動的時間中捕捉的影像與他那不受時限的畫作。」
「這是一場融會時空、地域與文化的遊戲；這是城市的矛盾在相遇一刻而生的畫像。」
– Cyril Delettre
《Wild City》系列皆為獨版作品。
