何鎮宇,香港出生。獲澳洲皇家墨爾本理工大學及香港藝術學院合辦之藝術碩士及藝術文學士學位,主修攝影,其畢業作品《親密 • 關係》獲邀於澳洲阿德萊德Seedling Art Space Gallery以個展形式展出;曾先後於香港嶺南大學及新亞研究所修讀哲學,以美學及當代新儒家為主要研究範圍。

何氏近年的藝術實踐專注於「相機次要」攝影的各種可能性以及攝影與其他藝術媒介間的關係,曾就此分別於二零一六年及二零一九年策展兩個展覽《光至景亡 ── 相機次要攝影》(香港動漫基地)及《存在的跳躍》(賽馬會創意藝術中心)。

曾參與展覽包括二零一四年的《很久不見了,維多利亞》(香港文化博物館)、二零一三年《HK ID》(墨爾本澳華歷史博物館)、二零一二年《後直:當代香港攝影》(香港文化博物館)及二零一一年《旅動-鄧凝姿,何鎮宇作品展》(深圳提畫廊);二零一四年策展香港國際攝影節展覽《屾》(香港文化博物館)。其作品為香港文化博物館收藏。

From ‘How to take photos’, to ‘Why take photos’ and ‘What is photography’, then back to asking ‘How to take photos’. Asking repeatedly, I teach and learn along the way. Teaching is like this, creation is also like this.

從問「怎樣拍照」開始,到「為了甚麼拍照」,再到「甚麼是攝影」,然後再重新探問「如何拍照」。週而復始,教學相長。教學如此,創作如此。

The work title comes from the last sentence of an ancient Chinese poem ”擊壤歌” (Song of Peasants in the Time of Yaou). The political ideal of Chinese culture, was once realizing in Hong Kong, but people called it Political Apathy back then. The symbols used in the artwork are from streetscape of Hong Kong and “Manual of the Mustard Seed Garden”, a printed manual of Chinese painting compiled during the early-Qing Dynasty.

作品題目取自中國古代詩歌《擊壤歌》最後一句。華夏文化的政治理想,曾經在香港曇花一現,而當時的人卻稱之為政治冷感。作品所用符號人來自香港的街道風景及清朝康熙年間一部著名畫譜《芥子園畫傳》。
