藝術家工作方法 Artist Methodology

由一本獨立出版到影像部門

我們（《馮火》月刊仝人）只要面對展覽，也要將它變成其他東西。譬如我們早期的策略是將其中一個欄目變成一個展覽，將它實體化，如果有機會找作者們和他們一起將內容變成一個展覽，我們就有點像策劃人和「陪伴者」的角色。後來再想了一些辦法就是我們不如乾脆脫離雜誌的結構，將廣告的部分單獨拿出來做展覽，那我們可以自己成立一個部門「影像部」，我們幾個人自己拍影片，我們想到的參照對象其實是（早期的）TVB。TVB養了班演員，經常都是同一班人，而我們五個人，可以輪流演來演去，作為我們《馮火》名下的影像公司，但它是用來製作生產一些跟我生活有關、自己認為有趣的影像，所以我們是如此去生產我們的內容。基於這個框架，我們覺得其實在有限的條件裏面，我們完全是可以做得到自足的，而不需要更多的資源。因為我們《馮火》的精神就是這樣逼我們去想，在有限條件下應該怎樣去做，就算沒有好的條件，我們也可以以差的條件去應對。

From Independent Publishing to Moving Images Department

We [members of Fong Fo Monthly Magazine] have, whenever we’re given an exhibition, we want to turn it into something else. For instance, our early strategy was to turn one of our columns into an exhibition, to make it physical, if there was an opportunity to work with writers and turn their content into an exhibition, we would be like a curator and an ‘accompanist’. Later, we thought about ways we could break the structure of the magazine, make it into other structures: take out the advertising and make it into an exhibition, remove the layout of the magazine, and create a ‘Moving Images Department’. Some of us make videos, and the format we were thinking of is actually [the early] TVB, which nurtures a stable group of actors, they often perform in different programs, and the five of us can take turns acting, under the banner of our own Fong Fo moving images company, but it would be used to create videos that come from our own lifestyles, that we find interesting, so we would be creating our own content. With that structure, we feel that in limiting conditions, we could be self-sufficient, and not need any other resources. Because our Fong Fo spirit forces us to think of ways to operate with limited resources, even if there are no good conditions, we can deal with the bad ones.
