I wanted to capture the abundance of Hong Kong; its busyness and colour and organised chaos that the population both endure and thrive within.
The HK Public Housing and apartments are the very make-up of the city. They’re everywhere and everything: pillars of concrete and people, forcing the onlooker’s neck to stretch back, testing peripheral vision and succumbing in awe to the sheer sizes and number of these blocks.
Each block had its own personality, made up primarily with the people it housed, one on top of the other: their insides and entrails and needs and hobbies thrown out of windows, laid bare for the world. There are no secrets when we’re that close. That narrative continued with the vibrant colours that make up the huge external walls.
Hong Kong is a cinematic city; I enjoyed watching the film.
