About the Exhibition_


“A SPACE ODYSSEY” is an annual event held by HKU SPACE for BA (Hons) Graphic Design final year students. This year’s exhibition will present the graduate’s final year projects with a specific theme “16 Visual Vibrations”, representing 16 different views about 16 social issues. In additional, the exhibition will also present students’ other excellent works done during the course.

十六種不同的視覺表達方式；十六個對社會議題的個人感受。十六位平面設計學生，不約而同地在個人的畢業作品中、各自發表出對於個別社會議題的感想。
當他們的聲音相遇碰撞成為迴響震盪，“2009 A SPACE ODYSSEY -16 Visual Vibrations”這畢業展覽的主題順應誕生。
是次展覽也將會同時展出畢業作以外的其他精彩作品。

Visual Vibrations_ Wasting's

@ 19:15 by A.
  
  



















by Lam Wing Chung Agnes


“Wasting's” is a conceptual brand which sells different kinds of festival food, and reflects the issue of excessive food that is being wasted in big festivals in Hong Kong.

Rather than telling people “how to save food/ money” or “how to reduce festival (food) waste”, I choose to redesign the packages of festival food with new titles and sarcastic tagline – “The Goodness of Excessiveness”, in an irony approach. “Wasting's” can force its audiences to confront with their habitual manner, and consequences of wasting festival food in a compulsory way. Different subtitles or comments (statements) found on the packaging will sound sarcastic towards the wasters, or putting them into an awkward situation due to their prior act of creating (either voluntarily or passively) excessive festival food. It is like a “trap”; thus I wish the audiences can learn a lesson from it.

“WASTING’S”是一個售賣各種節日食物的概念性品牌，反映香港在各大節日時多餘食品的食物浪費。

與其讓人知道如何節省食物和金錢、或減少食物浪費，我選擇了重新設計節日食品的包裝，並加上新的諷刺性食品品名，以及標語“THE GOODNESS OF EXCESSIVENESS”。

“WASTING’S”強迫受眾面對自己這種習慣性的態度，與浪費節日食物的必然後果。如陷阱一樣，在包裝上不同的語句正是為了去諷刺及取笑浪費者；或將會讓人身處於製造節日食物浪費的笨拙處境。我希望看到這一份作品的人都能上寶貴的一課。
