OPEN ROOF 天台與陽台

Rooftops in our city are either luxurious private territories or outlets for exhaust-pipes and ventilators - they are unnoticed, sometimes wasted. OPEN ROOF is about listening to and on rooftops and balconies. It is a call to set free a layer of urban life from the routines of looking up and looking past. It is a call to imagine the in-between. OPEN ROOF is also about caring for rooftops as unique and endangered soundscapes of Hong Kong. Imagine standing in urban enclaves hewn out by the drones of the low and the screeching winds of the high - our ears are bigger than we think.

在城中往上望，高樓千尺，有人喜歡把天台改建成私人天地，居高臨下，有人把陽台密封，增多一點室內空間，更常見的是用以擺放冷氣及通風系統，天台變成超現代不毛之地。《天台與陽台》是卡爾維諾文學著作《看不見的城市》的聆聽版，也是對城市的「拜高」「拜看」主義的回應。《天台與陽台》邀請城市人探索不高不低卻「大有聽頭」的一片空氣，聽音樂人與聲音設計師以三個原創聲音事件，把天台與陽台的聲境掏空再盛滿，共用一天寬倘。
