唯有當眾人的故事拼在一起，這座城市的輪廓才開始變得完整⋯⋯
「香港由小漁村發展成國際大都會。」這句耳熟能詳的說法，多年來猶如一段預設好的敘事框架，形塑了我們理解這座城市的方式。然而，在經濟奇蹟與摩天大樓的宏大敘事背後，那些關於街道的氣味、戀人的耳語，以及午夜窗外閃爍的孤獨，是否還有容身之處？

Only when the stories of many are pieced together does this city find its wholeness...
The phrase, “Hong Kong evolved from a small fishing village into an international metropolis” has, for years, served as a narrative framework in shaping how we perceive the city. Yet, behind this grand narrative of economic development and vertical ambition, is there still space for the scent of the streets, the whispers of lovers, or moments of solitude flickering outside a window at midnight?

Gleaning Whispers from the Margins
In this second chapter of the exhibition, multiple modes of expression are brought into dialogue. Beyond the artist’s visual interpretations, the exhibition incorporates a participatory dimension, inviting visitors to become storytellers. We invite you to start from the nuances of daily life and gather the whispers scattered within. In this space outlined by two trajectories of Double Blue - the sea and the sky, the city’s "Altered Fairy Tale" begins to form. This is not a search for a standardized fairy-tale ending, but an attempt to allow voices long hidden in the background to be read once more — collectively creating a portrait of the city in all its warmth and authenticity.
Rewriting the Fairytale: Projections of Memory and Emotion
This process of co-creation is understood as a reconfiguration of a fairytale within the contemporary context. From early narratives marked by cruel allegories to modern reinterpretations centered around self-awareness, fairytales have never possessed fixed endings; rather, they continue to shift along with the emotional and imaginative currents of each era. If fairytales themselves can change within time, then the narrative of Hong Kong should not be confined to a single version. As urban experience is inherently complex and interlaced, it should not be subjected to a singular reading. Within the blank spaces of grand history, each intimate and lived emotional trace serves to supplement the atlas of this city — a landscape perpetually in the process of being mapped.
拾起留白中的私語
進入展覽的「下篇」，我們嘗試並置不同形式的表達。展場之中不僅呈現藝術家的視覺轉譯，同時亦納入公眾參與的「共創」部分，邀請觀者成為「說書人」。
我們邀請你從日常生活的細微之處出發，拾起那些散落其中的私語。在這片由海洋與天空兩道軌跡構成的「雙重藍」空間裡，記錄屬於這座城市的「異童話」篇章。這並非為了尋求某種標準化的童話結局，而是希望讓那些長期隱沒於背景之中的聲音，重新獲得被閱讀的可能，從而共同拼湊出一個更具溫度與真實感的城市面貌。
童話的改寫：情感與記憶的投影
我們將這種共創視為童話在當代語境中的一次重構。從早期帶有殘酷寓言色彩的敘事，到當代著重自我覺醒的再詮釋，童話的結局從來並非固定不變，而是不斷隨著時代的情感與想像而流轉。既然童話本身可以因時而變，那麼關於香港的敘事，自然亦不應局限於單一版本。
正因城市經驗本身複雜而交錯，它不應僅有單一的閱讀方式。在宏大歷史的留白之處，每一份細微而真實的個人情感，皆在補充這座城市尚未被完全標註的圖景。
