在日本的織豐時代(1568-1603),茶道宗師千利休受到當地權貴邀請參加茶聚,主人家特意準備了一件由中國入口價值連城的古董茶器,好以炫耀一番。誰知千利休不僅完全沒注意到茶器,全程更只掛著望住窗外隨風飄揚的樹枝。事後該主人家大發雷霆,一氣之下把茶器摔破,但是屋內其他食客卻小心翼翼地收集起碎片,並以金漆把碎片組合並復修為原來形狀。一段時間之後,千利休再次到訪茶室,看到經過復修的茶器不禁驚嘆道「這比之前有趣多了。」
金繼技術不刻意遮掩碎裂的痕跡,反而坦然面對曾經風光一時,但己逝不復返的遺憾;在珍惜過去的同時,亦不逃避現狀,繼續以處之泰然的態度生活,是為日本侘寂概念的延伸。
During the Azuchi–Momoyama period of Japan (1568 – 1603), tea master Sen no Rikyū was invited to a tea ceremony by a local nobility, who wanted to show off an exquisite piece of antique teapot imported from China. Outraged by Rikyu’s lack of interest in the teapot, the host shattered the expensive antique and left the scene. Other guests, witnessing the whole act, carefully gathered the fragments repaired the teapot with a gold paint. Rikyu, who returned to the tea house afterwards and was surprised by the transformed artpiece, exclaimed “Now this is so much more interesting.”
The art of Kintsugi honors the flaws and and imperfection of things and makes no attempt to conceal the past; mistakes and regrets are celebrated rather than hidden. The attitude of being at peace with uncontrollable circumstances is the core of the Wabi-Sabi philosophy.
12CM香港民主女神像原於2019年生產,在2年間經過多次運送往返多國後,其中一小批女神像經己受到不同程度的破損及斷裂,不能正常出售。為了延續它們的使命,團隊特意把破損的女神像運到日本以金繼技術小心進行復修,每一件因損壞情況各有不同,結果都是獨一無二。重新包裝的套裝內亦配上以版畫工藝印製,題為「勿忘」的畫作,及於2020年10月在東京遊行在新宿街頭出現的2米高女神像A3海報。
The 12cm-tall Lady Liberty HK statues were originally manufactured in 2019, and were transported between countries to avoid censorship in the past two years. A number of the statues were damaged in the process and were brought to Japan for repair with Kintsugi technique. Each piece is unique in the way it has been broken. The repackaged unit also comes with a newly created woodblock paint “never forget” postcard and an A3 poster of Lady Liberty HK in Shinjuku, Tokyo during the protest of October 2020.
