Hong Kong is my favourite Asian city, and I visit it whenever I have a chance. With every visit, I discover a new face of the city. I spent several days wandering its streets to find and capture striking shades and shapes, especially moments where the concrete is broken up by different details. Other images focus on the geometric shapes and contrasts created as the city’s skyscrapers jostle for position. I became especially fascinated by the scale of Hong Kong’s tower blocks, which house thousands of people, and I used street level perspective to draw attention to their size. The buildings’ towering presence is further emphasised by the minuscule clothes that dot the balconies, and the juxtaposition of nearby amenities. I wanted to present the exteriors of these buildings in opposition to their interiors. The goal was to highlight the light and delicate features. I really wanted to find new angles and perspectives through my lens. Honing in on bolts of brightness and panelling that wraps around the outside of buildings, this series of images reframe the city’s architecture. 这次来香港旅行,我看到的是一个全新的香港。这是另一个角度,它所谓的高楼林立,人群撺动,这只是一个现代城市的表象,从电影里看香港不是第一次,但绝对是特殊的一次。 在香港的光影之旅里,走过地铁、路过天桥,甚至是不经意的抬头望见林立的高楼,我都不禁想起某个场景,电影里的某个场景,所以像是时空穿梭,亦或是海市蜃楼。 总之,我愿迷失在这次的香港之旅。 香港的夜景带着它独有的气息,那是一种,没有来过便不能体会到的一种气息,脑海里总能浮现出电影场景中人川流不息,只有我还在站在原地的场景。来往匆匆的人们,为了理想来到这样一座城市,努力的在钢筋泥土之间破芽而出,寻找到属于自己的存在价值。 From a distance, the buildings resemble geometric patterns. Close inspection of the images reveals that there’s more here than monolithic apartment blocks. Belongings — drying laundry, mops, birdfeeders and the like—reinforce the notion that these tiny, stacked spaces are people’s homes. In recent years, Hong Kong has become a muse in the realm of architectural photography. Its densely packed, vertical apartments have inspired mind-boggling images from the side, from below, and above. These images capture the geometric lines of the city’s soaring, dense towers and also something of its street life and vitality.
关于标题是我在到香港说的第一句话“让我迷失在这座城市吧”。香港是唯一 一个有冲动想要留下来一直生活的城市,莫名的吸引力, 或许是被香港城市文化中的小清新的风格迷的无法自拔,骨子里面文艺青年的我,真的在这座城市里面迷失了一个我,却又找到了另一个我。
