海水藍到變黑
The Seawater, So Blue It’s Black
海水は黒くなるほど青い




羅玉梅的創作常以「水體」為線索,探索香港的地緣政治與歷史,以及冷戰時期亞裔人口的海上遷移。作為其首本作品集,《海水藍到變黑》藉由一個錯置的地理想像去展開一趟跨越十三年(2010 -2023)的創作回溯,不只召喚了許多藝術家過往做田野調查時的身體記憶;空間、情感、記憶紐結想像,十多年,交織出一個麻花,是藝術家給自己的一條救生繩,如她在自序寫下:「欲前行,如果可以」 。
Law Yuk Mui’s works often anchored on the notion of water as the point of departure to explore the geopolitics and history of Hong Kong, as well as the maritime migration of Asian populations in a Cold War context. As her first monograph spans 13 years (2010 -2023) of creations, The Seawater, So Blue It’s Black is a journey of retrospection that began with a misplaced ‘imagined geography’. It not only summoned Law’s bodily memories of fieldwork, but also spatial, emotional, and mnemonic entanglements and imaginations that have knotted into a lifeline for the artist to move forward.
