他者 = The other
Yee Hung KONG (江綺虹) and Bingxi WANG (王柄羲)
What kind of love concept do you have? Do you value gender distinction and think you cannot fall in love with people of the same gender? Now let's imagine there is another world where heterosexuality is not legal. Will you still be limited by the established values? Or will you be brave enough to challenge social values and pursue your love? The utopia world reflects the real world. We are all the Other. Maybe in love gender does not matter. I love you just because of you.
你擁有怎樣的愛情觀呢？你是否在價值觀中就已經對性別有所劃分，認為自己不可能愛上同性別的人？當世界顛倒，當價值觀重新被設定，當異性戀不合法時，若是你身在其中，你是否會被既定價值觀所限制，還是你會足夠勇敢去挑戰社會價值觀，追求所愛？這是一個烏托邦，鏡中世界映照現實世界，「我們」與「自我」在這裏都會成為「他者」。或許愛無關乎性別，我愛你，祇是因為你本身。
