毒品/BEATBOXING : DOA BY EMILY CHAN

CN – Belinda Wong

你有見識過beat boxer 爆發般的“節奏口技” beatboxing嗎?不論你是從很久以前就喜歡beatboxing,或是因組合The ROOTS裏的Rahzel 或者Scratch的表演,甚至是有點玩票性質的JT而迷上的,無可否認的是beatboxing確實是門技藝,而現在你可以感受它的魅力。在此稍微介紹DOA,一個非主流的紐約傳奇,他是歷史上第一張beatboxing專輯“The Human Element”裏收錄的創作人之一。 現在你可以透過來自加拿大溫哥華的才華橫溢年輕導演EMILY CHAN的鏡頭,再次認識和欣賞DOA的懾人演出--欣賞他們的才藝,也欣賞他們。

You ever heard a beat boxer go off? Whether you got a taste of the sonics from way back, caught on when The ROOTS were rolling with Rahzel or Scratch, or even a little of JT fooling with it. Well that’s the art, and here it is in full splendor. Here we bring you a bit of the history. One of the featured artists from a 108 Records project from around the way, the first beatboxing album, The Human Element. Here we present one of the more unsung legends from New York, DOA. Check how he flips the script in a timeless video, shot by Emily Chan, a young, talented film director from Vancouver, Canada. Respect the talent, respect the architects.

從IFC望出去看海,就會見到一個龐然大物出現在中環四號碼頭頂上。對,中環碼頭天台上有一隻巨型Lady Dior袋子橫睡著,晚上袋子的藤格紋還會有LED 亮燈。這就是“Lady Dior As Seen By”的展覽場地。作為巡遊展覽,它已經去過Sao Paolo、Milan、上海等等。現在來到香港了,沒有理由不去吧?!免費展覽喔!

Looking out of the IFC, for a peep of sea view, one can see an odd object lying on the roof of pier number 4. Yes, on top of a pier, there sits a gigantic Lady Dior bag, with glowing LED cannage pattern at night. This is the ‘Lady As Seen By’ exhibition. It has travelled around the world. Sao Paulo, Milan, Shanghai, to name but a few. Now that it’s in Hong Kong, there’s no excuse to miss it. It’s free!

(English continued after Chinese)

上了三層梯級後,眼前就是那個巨型袋子。Lady Dior袋子、袋子上的lucky charms和紮實的手柄結構都非常吸引目光兩個衣著醒目的男生替我開了那刷白的門,用英文歡迎來賓“Welcome to Lady Dior As Seen By”。涼快的場地放置著上百件藝術品,全由世界各地的當代藝術家所做,全部也用Lady Dior包包做靈感。藝術品旁沒有太多的資料,幸好場內漂亮的黑衣Narrators很主動地幫忙解說。

Gregor Hildebrandt,德國藝術家,他選擇了V H S和卡式帶的帶子來覆蓋包包。原來他用了Hitchcock的Vertigo來覆蓋前後兩面,傍邊則用了Garbage樂隊的歌“To Die For”。如果我沒有事事詢問Narrators我那會知道啊?Google一下藝術家的大名真的有助你了解更多,如果你不熟他們的話。去Google Tim Gutt、Tim Walker、Peter Lindbergh看看!

毒品/FENDI《INVITO PERICOLOSO》

微電影的熱潮席捲全球,不少品牌選擇這種方式演繹他們最新的系列及品牌形象。這次由老佛爺Karl Lagerfeld親身執導的微電影《INVITO PERICOLOSO》邀請了老佛爺的寵兒Cara Delevingne 和荷蘭名模Saskia de Brauw一同演出。由於這季Fendi主打是皮草,所以在電影中可以看到主角身穿這季Fendi不同款式的皮草。眾所周知老佛爺對攝影的熱愛和對時裝設計熱愛程度不相上下,看到這次拍攝的角度及音效營造了懸疑及神秘的感受,可見老佛爺對拍攝執導的技巧又更進一步。拍攝的同行小心!Karl Lagerfeld來了!

Looks like fashion is really starting to explore the possibilities of film now; excellent. Do you like scary movies? Suspense? None other than Karl Lagerfeld delivers a short film for the House of Fendi, playing with the emotions of horror and fear. To my knowledge the first fashion film I’ve seen exploring a darker narrative. The initial excitement of the film doesn’t carry though and by midpoint it clearly begins to lag. Perhaps there is a sequel or part deux?
