Through a subjective lens, this autoethnographic film explores the phenomena of the ‘everyday’ through the practice of window watching. This is specifically done from the personal space of my bedroom in Prince Edward, Hong Kong. During the fourt h wave of the coronavirus pandemic, video material and soundscapes for this film were recorded through an iPhone from the sixth floor of an old building in lower Ki Lung Street. While the visual footage shows what is immediately visible beyond the glass window - which acts as a border between the public and the private - the sound explores what is not visible in the shots. In an attempt to braid together the duality of the public and the private, sounds from both of these spaces are juxtaposed onto the footage gathered. The videos, sound and text are layers that melt together to reproduce parts of my everyday experience. These experiences are how I relate to my neighbors, their traces, and the space I live in. We are strangers to this day but the soundscape that enters both our private spaces act as a reminder that we share and make Ki Lung Street what it is.

這部自我民族志電影通過主觀鏡頭,通過觀察窗外的實踐來探索“日常生活”的現象。 這 是專門從我在香港太子臥室的個人空間完成的。 在第四次冠狀病毒大流行期間,這部電影的視頻材料和音景是通過 iPhone 從基隆街下的 一棟舊建築的六樓錄製的。 雖然視覺鏡頭顯示了玻璃窗外立即可見的東西,它充當了公共 和私人之間的邊界,聲音探索了鏡頭中不可見的東西。 為了將公共和私人的二元性編織在 一起,來自這兩個空間的聲音被並列到收集的鏡頭上。 視頻、聲音和文本是融合在一起的層次,再現了我日常體驗的一部分。 這些經歷是我與鄰 居、他們的踪跡和我居住的空間所組成的關係。今天的我們是陌生人,但進入我們兩個私人 空間的音景提醒了我們,我們共享並讓基隆街成為現在的樣子 。
