Old Slab

Single channel 16mm film in 4k digitization / 43'18" / (2025)

Old Slab proposes an alternative approach to document space. The film chronicles a dwelling of thirty years in Fu Shan Estate, a public housing estate in Hong Kong. The residential block adopts the style of ‘Old Slab’, where the building is an elongated rectangular structure with 34 flats internally connected by a single corridor.

Shot on 16mm film, the seven chapters of the work unfold under a spatial-driven mode of documentation to capture building structures, environmental changes, and a family's process of vacating their home. The camera drifts from the communal spaces of the estate into the confines of a flat, occasionally shifting its standing afar in search of home. Old Slab records urban housing, domestic space, and remembers a defining frame of a family's history.

《家庭公寓》提出另一種用影像書寫空間的方式。作品記錄一個居住了三十年的居所，位於香港的公共屋邨富山邨。樓宇採用舊式長型中央走廊式大廈設計：外形成一直線，內部以一條走廊貫穿34戶。

作品以16米釐菲林拍攝，分七個章節，以空間主導的拍攝模式去記錄樓宇結構、環境變更及家庭遷離經過。鏡頭從屋邨裏的公共空間遊走到室內單位，時而又從遠處眺望找尋家。《家庭公寓》不僅是對城市房屋的記錄，還是對一個家庭的節錄。
