Description
A historic building is a legend of one’s own time. A trace of it is left and gets exposed on an instant photo. Each frame is a monument to be discovered and preserved. A photo in hand is a ticket to ride on a time machine. Travelling between different points along the timeline, we re-witness moments in history. When the past and present are juxtaposed, humans cannot help but respond with contemplations and a sense of nostalgia.
Now and Then is a personal documentary on occidental colonial-style buildings in Hong Kong. Each place, may it be a barracks, a court house or a church, exudes its own lasting charm. What if we slow down and listen to the stories of these timeless aesthetics.
Now and Then exhibited in Los Angeles Center of Photography(US), The Rencontres d’Arles Book awards (Paris, France), Amber Gallery-Museum (Lithuania), Wonder Foto Day (Taipei, Taiwan), Hong Kong Photo-Book Fair (Hong Kong). The book received an Honorable Mention in Book - Self Published Category at International Photo Awards 2019.
