由於月球的自轉與公轉週期相同
加上受地球引力影響
故月球自古以來總是一面朝向地球
我們在地球上只能看見月球的正面
自古以來雖然我們對月球背面知之甚少
但從來沒有失去對月球背面的聯想
也正因如此
充滿幻想力同寓意的神話傳說才深深伴隨着我們數千年
自 1969年人類首次登陸月球之後
月球和我們的距離好像拉近了
人類之後卻未曾重返過月球
一切太空天文現象神話故事和有關月球的節慶還是循環繼續發生
月圓繼續,，中秋繼續，玉兔繼續，嫦娥繼續，月餅繼續
但自「嫦娥四號」在2019年首次成功登陸月球背面後
科技嘅發展又再一次把我們連接到千年文化神話傳說
為我們逐步揭開了古老月背的神秘面紗
神話及傳說從此便再不一様了
今次展覽藝術家及其創作團隊嘗試帶領觀眾一起進入傳說中嘅月背
以第一時間及第一身視點
去體驗一個可能是很不一様嘅中秋節！
在展場
你遠遠遙望到的是否就代表住微細觀察到的
前面的可能是一種真實，但背後的卻又並非真相
見兔是兔
虛虛實實
見兔非兔
虛中見實
實中見虛
真實是否就是真相
見兔還是兔
今次嘅中秋從此便再不一様了

Due to the same cycles of revolution and rotation
And the gravitational pull from the Earth
The Moon has been showing one side to the Earth since the beginning of time
We have only been seeing the front side of the Moon
And know very little about the back
But we never stop having associations about the back of the Moon
That is why
We have been accompanied by myths and legends for thousands of years
Since mankind first set foot on the Moon in 1969
The distance between us and the Moon seemed to have been shortened
Mankind, however, has not been back to the Moon
All moon-related astronomical phenomena, myths and legends, and festivals continued
Full moons, mid-autumn festival, the jade rabbit, the Moon goddess, moon cakes are still with us
But since the nation’s Chang’e-4 successfully landed on the back of the Moon in 2019
Technological advancement has once again connected ufs to the myths and legends
Revealing the mystical face of the backside of the Moon
Myths and legends will never be the same
The artist and his creative team brings the audience to the backside of the Moon
To experience a very different mid-autumn festival
With first-hand experience and perspective
At the Piazza
What you are viewing from afar may not represent the details you observe
While the front may be true, but the back is not the fact
You see a rabbit which is a rabbit
The truth mingled with the false
You see a rabbit that is not a rabbit
The truth is hidden in the false
The false is mixed up in the truth
Is the fact the truth
You are still seeing a rabbit
But Mid-Autumn Festival will never be the same
