The photographs in Hong Kong After Hong Kong are Chung-Wai’s visual lament for the city. They
show the city’s contradictions—the co-existence of urban infrastructure and nature, the ancient
and contemporary, and both the artificial and natural light of the city swathed by sea. Although one
of the most densely populated cities in the world, Chung-Wai’s photographs are devoid of crowds
and often show solitary figures against cinematic backdrops. His images were made roaming
on foot and alert to overlooked details, taking the viewer on a walk with him through the city he
previously called home.
‘These photos were initially intended to record the present moment, but now they seem more to
depict the past, and tell the future'.
Wong Chung-Wai is a photographer and filmmaker. He has worked in the film industry for
more than 10 years as a production manager, location manager and scriptwriter. In 2021 he was
shortlisted for the Emerging Artist Award in the Lucie Scholarship Program. His work has been
featured in It’s Nice That, Creative Boom, F-STOP Magazine, Noice Magazine and Abridged
Magazine. Hong Kong After Hong Kong is his first monograph.
