城寨志异 STRANGE TALES OF WALLED CITY / 作者 : Rex Koo

【基本备货天数为 7～14个工作天】 ------------------------------------------------------------ 一晃眼，我们便来到了想像中的未来，处身于 Cyberpunk其中两部重要作品《AKIRA》(亚基拉) 与《Blade Runner》里所描述的 2020年。香港这个高密度的城市，作为Cyberpunk作品经常用以取材的未来城市场景，生活于那一丛丛摩天大厦里的人正过着怎样的生活？在人与人的距离如此接近的空间该如何自处? 大家需要面对何等的困境? 如何理解自身与社会的关系？各自又怀着甚么心事? Rex Koo于2018年起始创作的漫画集《城寨志异》，在一个空想的未来、空想的高密度城市里，一群上班族亦正经历着一场攸关生死的大转变。有人意图以一己之力反抗制度、有人无视世界转变继续如常生活、有一只猫则尝试令主人死而复生。三个互不相识的人正卡在一段新与旧、破与立， 黑白颠倒的时间与空间当中。各自怀抱着心之所向，身之所往的信念， 默默在这个城市里创造着自己的未来。 In a blink of an eye, we come to the imaginary future which is described as the “future 2020” in two of the most important works of cyberpunk, 《AKIRA》 and 《Blade Runner》. Hong Kong, where is a high-density city, is often used as a futuristic urban scene by cyberpunk. What kind of lives are people living in those skyscrapers? How to manage yourself in a space where people are so close? What level of difficulties do we need to face? How to understand the relationship of self and society? What are the thoughts in everyone’s mind? Rex Koo has been starting to create his comic collection《Strange Tales of Walled City》since 2018. In an imaginary future of a high-density city, a group of workers are experiencing a life-and-death transformation. Some people intend to resist the system with their own strength. Some ignore any changes in the world and continue to live as usual. There is a cat trying to bring its owner back to life. Three strangers are stuck amid a spacetime with mixtures of new vs old, broken vs recreation and right vs wrong. They are having their own beliefs in their hearts, are silently creating their own futures in this city. ------------------------------------------------------------ 【城寨志异 STRANGE TALES OF WALLED CITY】 作者：Rex Koo ------------------------------------------------------------ 【关于 Rex Koo】 Rex Koo（顾沛然），香港土生土长视觉艺术家, 自小热爱流行文化，风格深受普普艺术及八九十年代流行文化影响。千禧年开始从事平面设计及插画工作，2013年开始以独立创作人身份进行创作。曾以港产片为主题先后出版过三本绘本《Only You can take取西经》、《当年相恋意中人》及《七孔流血还七孔流血死还死》。 2018年开始于工余时间进行漫画创作。台风山竹后开始构思以香港为舞台的幻想故事，前后大约花了一年时间完成《城寨志异》第一集。
