Art Basel HK 2026: “Rewind-Still-REC” - screening2026 巴塞爾藝術展香港展會：快轉漫步
“Rewind-Still-REC” transforms the single-channel video screen into a laboratory of temporal elasticity, where the laws of physics yield to the logic of the edit. By engaging with action-focused works, the program moves beyond the documentary function of the camera to explore visual experiences that are impossible to realize in our daily reality. Here, the recording device is not a passive witness but an active conspirator; through techniques of reversal, playback, and montage, the artists deconstruct the linear flow of existence, illustrating the “truth” of movement through manipulating the on-screen portrayal of time.
The selection traverses the spectrum from the mechanical to the metaphysical. Yuan Goang-Ming and Yao Qingmei utilize the body as a site of endurance and alienation, whether through the uncanny friction of walking backwards against the forward march of the world, or the anxious, repetitive flagging of an ideal. While scenes of the cityscape follow closely to Ernest Fung on the road, Eric Siu’s slapstick juxtaposition of pop culture shrinks the breathtaking chasing scenes in movies into pixel-sized video games. Alice Wong and Winsome Dumalagan Wong delve into the architecture of memory itself. Navigating between personal storytelling and the digital void of satellite imagery, they reconstruct civilizations from the debris of the archive, considering nuances between the seen materials and the occurred reality.

「快轉漫步」將單頻螢幕轉化為時間彈性的實驗室，在此，物理法則臣服於剪輯的邏輯。本單元聚焦於以動作為核心的作品，超越攝影機的紀錄功能，探索那些在即時現實中無法具現的視覺體驗。在此，錄像設備並非被動的見證者，而是主動的共謀者；透過倒放、回放與蒙太奇等技法，藝術家解構了存在的線性流動，並透過操弄影像時間，描劃動作的「真實」。
選映作品橫跨了從機械性到形而上學的光譜。袁廣鳴與姚清妹將身體作為耐力與異化的場域，無論是透過逆行於世界前進步伐的詭譎摩擦，抑或是對理想充滿焦慮與重複的揮旗。從城市視角追蹤馮偉的拍攝步伐，到蕭子文並置流行影像，將本在大銀幕上映的警匪追捕化成電玩中幾像素大的角色歷險，王雅媛與黃慧心則深入記憶本身的建築結構。她們遊走於個人敘事與衛星影像的數碼虛空之間，從檔案的殘骸中重建文明，思考眼前的片段與事實之間無以名狀的差異。
