This volume presents the artistic work of Chun Wai created in France in the 1980s-1990s. Like the exhibition Adrift in Time―Photography by Chun Wai at the University Museum and Art Gallery, The University of Hong Kong, the publication has documentary value as a photographic record of the past and the passing of time.This physical and philosophical journey caused the artist to realize that his insights into the relationship suspended between predestination and chance were leading to an expansive form of loneliness―a state he felt was similar to the torment experienced by the ancient Chinese poets. Chun wandered the streets and alleys of great cultural centres like Paris discovering the collections of its great museums, art galleries and flea markets, along with the vast memories contained within, preserved and passed on through the course of time.此展覽目錄為秦偉 1990 年代於法國的藝術創作之結集,圖片記載著作者對過去及已流逝的時間的回溯,具有文本價值。透過這趟旅程,秦偉深悟人生乃在宿命與偶遇之間,頓感中國古代詩人飄泊孤寂之感。他遊走於文化之都 ― 巴黎,穿梭於街巷、博物館、美術館和跳蚤市場,浪遊於浩瀚的記憶和時間的長河。

The great cathedrals constructed in this period―with their thin walls and high vaults filled with statuary and stained-glass windows―were designed to evoke awe among visitors. The exqui
