Installation / 立體裝置
Chairs with legs adjusted for the stairs were “found” by Wong along Pound Lane. Wong extends this community-built seating to fill half the staircase, measuring out the width of the proposed escalator, as a way to both raise awareness about the potential impact of the escalator, and also to celebrate the stairs as a public gathering place.
藝術家「發現」磅巷街坊將椅子兩腳截短,以便放在樓梯上,遂把這組由社區共同發明的座椅進一步延展,令其佔整條樓梯的一半,相當於扶手電梯項目的覆蓋闊度。作品一方面令人留意到扶手電梯的潛在影響,亦讚揚樓梯作為公共休憩空間的價值。
