「The Orient is Hong Kong」殖民主義下的香港
「The Orient is Hong Kong」,是 60 年代香港旅遊協會(HKTA)推出的海報上常見的宣傳語,將「東方(the Orient)」與香港畫上等號,同時反映了當時東/西方二元概念的意識形態,將亞洲視為一個統合整體來理解。
1961 年,華裔美籍水彩畫家曾景文(Kingman Dong)獲 HKTA 委約創作了一系列旅遊海報「The Orient is Hong Kong:British Crown Colony(東方是香港:英國直轄殖民地)」,單是這句宣傳標語已充滿強烈殖民色彩。系列中一張與英國海外航空(B.O.A.C) 合作的海報更充分體現英國作為殖民者以及其歐洲中心的思想,海報中一個本地人力車車伕載著一位身穿西裝的客人,客人手持一把印著世界地圖的紅色雨傘,該地圖正中央插上了一支英國國旗。海報中,香港可理解成一個為殖民者服務的工人,殖民者與被殖民者之間的權力關係,一目了然。

HKTA 曾在 1938 年推出「香港:一個運動天堂」海報,由主要在上海活動的畫家 Friedrich Schiff 所創作,強調香港可為遊客提供不少動態活動,像是海報中的滑浪、騎馬、球類運動等。另一方面,香港也被視為一個動靜皆宜的旅遊勝地,因此海報左邊有一位身穿紅色旗袍的女士,象徵較喜歡靜態活動的旅客。
從這一百多幅風格、取材迥異的復古海報,我們看到了香港一段逝去的歷史與生活。
