‘Chan Mat Gwaan Hai’ is Lam’s debut art book, a photo story accompanied by a diaristic text chronicling the artist’s visit to his diasporic roots in Hong Kong. Sweet encounters with relatives is juxtaposed against a fervent gay romance, initially sparked on Instagram only a month before the trip. Employing a candid approach, he photographs portraits, landscapes, and still lives, capturing a bona fide experience of his time in Hong Kong; revealing the intimate and mundane aspects of one's contemporary life.
《親密關係》是 Jasper Lam 的首本攝影集,其照片故事附有日記式文字,記錄了藝術家於香港的尋根過程,以攝影描述出與親屬共享的時光以及甜蜜邂逅同性的浪漫。起初 Jasper 僅在旅程的一個月前在 Instagram 上分享照片,後來集結成這本限量出版物。 他以坦率的方式拍攝人像、風景和靜物,真實地記錄了他在香港的時光,揭示出當代人生活的私密及尋常一面。
