城寨誌異 STRANGE TALES OF WALLED CITY / 作者 : Rex Koo

【基本備貨天數為 7～14個工作天】 ------------------------------------------------------------ 一晃眼，我們便來到了想像中的未來，處身於 Cyberpunk其中兩部重要作品《AKIRA》(亞基拉) 與《Blade Runner》裡所描述的 2020年。香港這個高密度的城市，作為Cyberpunk作品經常用以取材的未來城市場景，生活於那一叢叢摩天大廈裡的人正過著怎樣的生活？在人與人的距離如此接近的空間該如何自處? 大家需要面對何等的困境? 如何理解自身與社會的關係？各自又懷著甚麼心事? Rex Koo於2018年起始創作的漫畫集《城寨誌異》，在一個空想的未來、空想的高密度城市裡，一群上班族亦正經歷著一場攸關生死的大轉變。有人意圖以一己之力反抗制度、有人無視世界轉變繼續如常生活、有一隻貓則嘗試令主人死而復生。三個互不相識的人正卡在一段新與舊、破與立， 黑白顛倒的時間與空間當中。各自懷抱著心之所向，身之所往的信念， 默默在這個城市裡創造著自己的未來。 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. ------------------------------------------------------------ 【城寨誌異 STRANGE TALES OF WALLED CITY】 作者：Rex Koo ------------------------------------------------------------ 【關於 Rex Koo】 Rex Koo（顧沛然），香港土生土長視覺藝術家, 自小熱愛流行文化，風格深受普普藝術及八九十年代流行文化影響。千禧年開始從事平面設計及插畫工作，2013年開始以獨立創作人身份進行創作。曾以港產片為主題先後出版過三本繪本《Only You can take取西經》、《當年相戀意中人》及《七孔流血還七孔流血死還死》。 2018年開始於工餘時間進行漫畫創作。颱風山竹後開始構思以香港為舞台的幻想故事，前後大約花了一年時間完成《城寨誌異》第一集。
