《沒光之後——彼岸》
當歷史邊界消失,「真相」在神話中浮現;
「自我」如何在多重生命中轉化?
假如大海有記憶,它記載了我們什麼?
從先祖戰亂到海上女神,人魚傳說到傳奇女海盜; 一浪接一浪的歷史故事,孕育出每一代人的海洋文明。 啟發自香港人魚「盧亭」與 海盜女王鄭一嫂,《沒光之後——彼岸》連結神話、歷史和性別,以一場「後人類儀式」展開身份反思之旅。

"DAWN 4.0: Beyond The Shore"
When historical boundaries dissolve, "truth" emerges in mythology.
How does the "self" transform in multiple lives?
If the ocean keeps memories, what does it record about us?
From ancestral conflicts to mermaid legends to legendary female pirates, waves of historical stories have nurtured maritime civilizations generation after generation. Inspired by the Hong Kong mermaid "Lo Ting" and the pirate queen Zheng Yisao, "DAWN 4.0: Beyond the Shore" connects mythology, history, and gender, and embarks on a journey of self-reflection through a "post-human ritual".

Research
The team interviewed locals about their daily lives, local myths and histories. For example, the history of the Ito-shima, its transportation networks, and the myths behind the stunning scene of Sakurai Futamigaura’s Couple Stones, sea gods etc. What triggered our imagination is the legend of “Himiko”, a shamanic queen, and it inspired us to continue researching the mythology around her and themes of femininity.
