《快乐区域》是“风景计划”的第三部作品，此次的创作基于作者2015年在香港所拍摄的影像片段。作为现代城市的典型，香港充斥着高密度的人群与楼体，人群的流动、面孔与身份，以及玻璃幕墙所构建出的楼体景观成为了作者所观看的“风景对象”。透过个人的经验，作者试图以“纪实采访”和“影像拼贴”的方式去谈论现代都市中关于人的存在。

Happy Valley is the third work of Landscape Project, based on the clips taken by the artist in Hong Kong in 2015. As a typical modern city, Hong Kong is filled with high-density population and buildings; the flow of people, their faces and identifies, as well as the reflections of urban landscapes with the glass walls of surrounding buildings, had all become the “scenic objects” in the artist’s eyes. Through his personal experience, the artist attempted to address the existence of people in a modern city in the ways of “documentary interview” and “video collage”.

马海蛟 1990 年出生于河北，2009 至 2016 年就读于中国美术学院，先后获学士学位和硕士学位，现生活、工作于北京。马海蛟2017年被提名为“ART021× 保时捷年度中 国青年艺术家”，2018 年入围第六届三亚艺术季“华宇青年奖”以及第十届三影堂摄影奖。其作品《马国权》由上海当代艺术博物馆收藏。

马海蛟的创作长期关注生命中的“日常性”部分，并以此为基底追踪逻辑线索，构成工作形态以及影像文本。

Ma Haijiao (b.1990, Hebei province, China) studied from 2009 to 2016 at the China Academy of Art, where he gained a BA and then an MFA. He now lives and works in Beijing. Ma Haijiao was a finalist of the Huayu Youth Award in Art Sanya 2018, and a finalist for the 10th Three Shadows Photography Award. He was a nominee for the A021xPORSCHE Young Chinese Artist of the Year in 2017. His work Mr.Quan was collected by Power Station of Art, Shanghai.

Ma’s art practice has an enduring concern with the daily “routine” of life, and taking this as his starting point, he traces its logic to shape video narratives and other works.
