「貧困線」攝影展

是次裝置藝術展覽將展示「貧困線」檔案中超過1600幀攝於六大洲28個不同國家的照片。每幀相片的意念一致,旨在展示各地活在貧窮線底下的人每日在食物上有何選擇。而透過報紙及食品種類可讓人得知相片的源地。

「貧困線」是希望喚起公眾對社會不公及食物選擇的關注。早前為期五周的#thepovertyline影像已公開徵集,每幀相片都以活於香港貧困線上的人每天用於食品的消費值作為主題。被選中的作品在這次展覽出展出。

著名攝影師趙峰與經濟學家林惠義於2010年聯合創辦貧困線項目。項目以透視全球的貧困境況及食物選擇的關注為目標。自2010年起,項目曾於格魯吉亞當代藝術館、北京中央美術學院美術館及巴黎Les Nuits Photographiques展出;並於芝加哥當代攝影博物館作永久收藏。項目更被世界銀行及TED講座作為參考資料。
