「船隻、島嶼、人……相依賴以存在的三元素，構成不可破的三角關係。」

──電影《有時跳舞》

關錦鵬電影《有時跳舞》，以島嶼的封閉性來寄寓世紀末風情。2000年，人類紀、物質性、非人（non-human）—— 還未成為顯學。但電影卻預示人類的醉生夢死，早已緊緊繫在物與技術的糾纏（entanglement）之中 。

在未有海底隧道、大橋和鐵路之前，穿梭於港九和新界各海岸的渡輪航線星羅棋佈。以城市為中心的交通規劃，把人和物的交流限制在城─鄉之間，忽視了海洋的開放性。從島嶼和海岸的優勢出發，縱横交錯的街渡和横水渡，曾經連結起鄉村和墟市，讓島嶼互通有無，而不需要以城市作為中介。

繼研究南丫南段的全記渡之後，梁寶山將與她的島嶼研究網絡（香港）團隊航向坪洲，回顧她與其他海岸社區的連繫，及其所曾承載，並繼續轉運的人、事、物。看看除了城市之外，島嶼還可以向那個方向航行?

“Boats, islands, human beings… Three inter-dependent elements, forming an unbreakable trilateral relationship.” – The Island Tales

Art film The Island Tales captured the close-ended nature of an island as a metaphor for the end of a century. In 2000, concepts such as “Anthropocene”, “non-human agency” and materiality had yet to become prominent academic terms, but the film predicted how easily our human lives fly by in a befuddled, hazy state, like a drunken dream.

During the days when tunnels, bridges and railways have yet to exist, kaitos weave between the shores of constellation-like islands and the New Territories. Transportation routes, designed to aggravate towards the city centre, limited the exchange between humans and objects to the dichotomy of urban and rural, stifling the openness of the ocean. Setting off from the seaside of the islands, kaitos and cable ferries that sailed towards entangled directions linked up the village with the village, as well as a village with towns. This interconnection allowed the islands to be inter-dependent without the need to rely on the city as an intermediary.

As an introduction to the study of kaito, our team began our study in Peng Chau, looking back at her connections with other islands, as well as the humans, events and objects it carried. Aside from the city, where else can the islands head towards?
