Description: This work, created during time at the University of Hong Kong, centers around a public piano, capturing the diverse lives of those who interact with it.
The story began when I heard a music student’s perspective that art is a luxury reserved for the elite. Then, the camera turned to a public piano, seeking to explore how people from all walks of life engage with music beyond formal performances. The piano attracted players from diverse backgrounds – hobbyists, professionals, students, and retirees – each sharing their unique stories through music. Regardless of skill level or age, their passion for music remained equally genuine, proving that art’s beauty transcends social boundaries and personal circumstances.
影片簡介：該影片為2024年在香港大學就讀時期作品，參與校園展映，獲得優良成績。影片以校園中的一架共享鋼琴為取景地，展示了來往此地的人們的生活。“我”偶然聼到的一個音樂學院學生對“音樂藝術”的態度：上流階級的，當然也是奢侈的，平常人不可輕易獲得。於是，“我”找到了這架共享的老鋼琴，希望瞭解在高貴的表演場合之外，人們是如何享受音樂。彈鋼琴的人來自天南海北，喜好各異。有業餘愛好者，職業音樂人，年輕學生亦或退休老人，向攝像機展現不同人生故事。即使水平堪堪，起步很晚，藝術之美卻不以世俗的條件而改變，人對音樂的熱愛亦無高低。
