Road signs, plastic pipes
Dimension variable
Road signs usually provide information that guides us toward our destinations. I want to expand their function by installing two signs at Repulse Bay, each telling a different story. Through them, visitors can encounter the Bay from new perspectives.
Sign: “History of Repulse Bay”
This sign compresses time into a single moment. It marks the dates and origins of the Bay’s name, the ships that once appeared here, news events, and even scenes from novels—each positioned according to where they took place. History becomes spatial, mapped directly onto the landscape.
Sign: “South of Repulse Bay”
When facing the open coastline, the sea breeze and vast horizon naturally stir the imagination. This sign points to the nations and places lying south of Repulse Bay—from the nearby Paracel Islands to the distant edge of Antarctica. Suddenly, we gain a kind of clairvoyance, seeing beyond the horizon toward places as far as 9,636 kilometers away.
路牌的功用是作為指出眼前道路資訊，見於各地，導引著人不同的目的地。我打算將路牌能指涉的範圍擴大，在淺水灣的沙地上設立兩個訴說著不同故事的路牌，讓遊客從不同的角度理解此處。
淺水灣的歷史：
由其命名的年分、起因，以至在這裡出現過的艦隻、新聞，及曾描述過這裡的小說情節等，均以路牌標示出其發生的位置。將時間壓縮，將歷史置於當下的時空。
淺水灣的南方：
每當望向無盡的海岸線，乘著海風的同時刺激著人的想像。我將淺水灣南方開外經過的國家、地方標示在路牌上，直至盡頭的南極洲，人像得了千里眼，且距離被縮減至一點，在這一點得到了約9636公里的資訊。
