與視覺無關的旅行
馬來西亞,2009-10-7到11 (五日四夜旅行團)
 
簡介:
我參加了一個5日4夜的旅行團去一個我從未去過的地方:馬來西亞,全程我都閉上或蒙上眼睛(扮盲):由香港-馬來西亞-香港,純粹用身體去經驗一次沒有視覺的旅行。我在過程中會一樣觀光拍照,照片是讓我未來的眼睛看的異地風景,這批照片連同其他團員的合照和錄影,會是日後唯一構成我對馬來西亞間接的視覺經驗和旅遊記憶。而我以後都不會再踏足馬來西亞。

A Travel Without Visual Experience
Malaysia, 2009-10-7 to 11 (5-days/4-nights tour group)
 
Summary:
I joined a 5-day/4-nights tour group to Malaysia, a country that I had never been before. From Hong Kong to Malaysia then back to Hong Kong, I either closed or covered up my eyes (in order to pretend that I was blind) for the entire journey. During the trip, I was still doing all the sightseeing and took many photos, but instead of seeing, I only used my body to sense and experience my surroundings. These photographs enabled my “future” eyes to view the documented foreign landscapes at a later stage. My images, along with photography and videos from other members of the tour group, became the sole reference of my indirect memories and visual experience for Malaysia. I will possibly never step foot into Malaysia again.
