《克拉拉與橘貓貓》展覽筆記 / Exhibition Notes of "Klara and the Orange Cat"

受石黑一雄所著的《克拉拉與太陽》啟發，我開始了這個展覽的構思。在中環的辦公室裡，我幻想自己是一個不需要太陽能的機械人（在書中稱為 Artificial Friend，簡稱AF）。午餐時間，我寫下了展覽計畫書，並開始繪畫自畫像、窗外風景以及在草地上發呆的小鳥。

有一天，我對著螢光幕，眼神呆滯，和同事無聊地討論究竟陽光照射在橘貓身上時，顏色會是橙色、白色還是黃色。雖然他們對這個問題感到匪夷所思，但因為我們是同事，且大家都不想工作，他們也願意和我討論一番。那天的對話有點像貓咪伸懶腰的感覺，還挺不錯的。

The exhibition is based on Kazuo Ishiguro's book entitled "Klara and the Sun". I have always imagined myself as a robot (or an "Artificial Friend", “AF” as described in the book) who operates without solar power in the office in Central. As I wrote this exhibition proposal during lunch, I began drawing self-portraits, window views and birds dazed on grasslands.

Out of boredom, I once initiated a discussion with my colleagues regarding whether the color of sunlight falling on an orange cat's body would be orange, white, or yellow. Despite their finding my question absurd, since we're colleagues and nobody wanted to work, we kept the discussion going. Our conversation was like cats stretching, which felt nice.
