The Academy for Performing Arts is still part of the harbour 50 years ago. In the late 1960s, the government started a series reclamation, cultivating precious land while erasing the original coastline. Similar events happen in the past 50 years, producing land for development, while erasing much of the traces of the past.

Memory and space are connected. When we approach a space where we had memories, we can experience feelings of the past, we could feel the presence of our trace. When the space has been altered drastically, those traces shall only exist in our minds, same as those who have passed away.

We believed that these traces of the past, our past, our ancestors’ past, are what moulds this city, which makes us what and who we are. However, it seemed tough battles must be fought to defend our beliefs.
On second thought, nobody cared about memories.

香港演藝學院,在50年前還是一片海洋。 在1960年代末至70年代, 政府從告士打道海旁分階段向北填海至今日的會議道海旁, 原來告士打道海岸線消失得無影無縱。 調景嶺(又名照鏡嶺)原來的海岸線現今已經變成一條普通的馬路, 一邊是山, 一邊是一堆高樓。 原來平靜得可以照鏡的海面距離這條馬路差不多一公里。

對我們來說,回憶與空間之間有著密不可分的連繫——記憶就是一個人記得在某一空間內進行某些事情。 當我們再次身處在這些空間中的時候, 我們能夠親切地感受到當年當刻的感覺, 讓我們感受到我曾經活著的痕跡。 當一個空間的面貌完全被改變的時候, 那些活著的痕跡只存在在一些腦電波中, 就像去世的親人一樣。

“Reclaim”是填海的意思,也可以解作再次宣稱(repossess)的意思。既然填海前,這塊土地都不存在, 那是誰可以「再次宣稱」這個空間是土地還是海? 是碼頭還是地下鐵? 是公共空間還是高尚住宅?
