DISCOVER A NEW IMMERSION IN THE STREETS OF HONG KONG, THE HUNTING GROUND OF PHOTOGRAPHER CHAN WAI KWONG. HE MIXES COLOUR AND BLACK AND WHITE, PORTRAITS OF PEOPLE AND STREETS, BUT ALSO HIS OWN INTIMACY.

The city of Hong Kong is always one of the main characters in Chan Wai-Kwong’s photographs. Faces, mouths, arms and other body parts, dogs, cats, cars, concrete, metal, and even colors flash by in his (mostly black-and-white) series “Hong Kong Summer: Double Suicide,” with each individual photo both part of a larger story and an entrance to its own little world.

“A love that is not recognized is very painful.
The most important thing is:
Did Juliet ever love me?
Is she real?
Does she exist?”
― from Chan Wai-Kwong’s artist statement
