An art exhibition that seamlessly combines physical materials, sound and video to present a collection of news reports spanning from 1984 to 2024, all centered around a specific "region". Through meticulous sampling, select images are extracted and dispersed throughout the space, offering viewers a concise journey through history. These successive events have shaped the social fabric of the environment, leaving indelible imprints. While residents of this region may retain fragments of memories or have forgotten them altogether, the relentless passage of time remains irreversible.

The art collective, PHEW, embarks on a bold endeavor to utilize key incidents from the region's past four decades as touchpoints, reflecting on them through archival news report clips. Starting from the historic signing of a joint statement between the Five Star Nation and the Union Jack Nation, they delve into the region's development, reconfiguring traces of its rapid transformation over 40 years within Parallel Space. Through the simplest means of expression, they invite viewers to rediscover and reevaluate this region.

一個結合實體材料、聲音和視頻的展覽,一系列在網上收集得來的有關一片「地域」,由1984至2024的新聞報道,以取樣方法,挑出數幅圖片,簡約地分佈在場中,呈現一趟短暫的歷史閃回,這些連績的事件一直改變這個環境社會結構,可能生活在這個地域的觀者還有印象或忘記,但都已經匆匆流逝,一去不返。

微型藝術團 PHEW  試圖以直觀有關這地域四十年內的重大事故為點據,在舊新聞報道片段的內容中重溫一次由五星國與米字國簽署聯合聲明當年開始,重新了解及認識此地域,在四十年內急速發展留下的痕跡中,在平行空間中重新編輯一次後存案, 同時以最簡約的表現方法跟觀者分享。
