Macao is an old city of 400 years with rapid changes. In the video installation of “Nothing Happens – Macao series”, 5 videos are shown individually on 5 TV screens with different sizes and painting frames, showing black and white images of Macao’s scenery. At the first glance, these black and white images which evoke the daily life of Macao appears to be static. But gradually, the black and white images will turn into color and the movement of the city is very slowly shown. The process of the changes of the images is extremely slow so that it is not so perceptible by the viewers. But as the viewer stays longer in front of the video, changes are noticeable.

Changes take place everyday, every hour, every minutes and even every single second in our life. But on a daily basis, they are often imperceptible to our busy mind. The work is intended to reveal the contrast of the movement of change and at the same time, its subtlety. 

Impermanence is the only absolute certainty in our life. 

Everything is in a state of flux.

The circle goes round and round. 

At the end of our days, when we have no choice but leave everything behind, one might say, nothing really happens, but every moment counts. 

澳門是一座有著400年曆史的古城,變化日新月異。 無事澳門系列視頻裝置中,5個視頻分別在5個不同大小和畫框的電視屏幕上播放,呈現澳門風景的黑白影像。 乍看之下,這些喚起澳門日常生活的黑白圖像似乎是靜止的。 但漸漸地,黑白像會變成彩色,城市的運動非常緩慢地展現出來,影像的變化過程極其緩慢,以至於觀眾不易察覺但隨著觀眾在錄像前停留的時間更長,變化是顯而易見的。

在我們的生活中,每天、每小時、每分鐘甚至每一秒都在發生變化。 但在日常生活中,我們忙碌的頭腦往往察覺不到它們。作品旨在揭示變化的對比,同時揭示其微妙之處。

無常是我們生命中唯一絕對的確定性。

一切都處於不斷變化的狀態。

循環不斷。

在我們的人生結束時,當我們別無選擇只能拋開一切時,有人可能會說,什麼都沒有發生,但每一刻都很重要。
