A Place I Used To Know
“A Place I Used To Know” is a photographic series, which explores my hometown of Hong Kong behind its iconic city façade. Capturing the lesser-seen aspects of the city such as back alleys, markets, housing and industrial estates. The collated photographs span across my final four years in Hong Kong (a transition between Secondary School to University, Hong Kong to London). Now that this transition is almost complete, Hong Kong is becoming “A Place I Used To Know” with this series not only illustrating the city from my personal perspective, but also acting as an archive of my home.
The approach to these photographs was hugely influenced by the Situationist’s concept of dérive or drift. A process that where one “let themselves be drawn by attractions of the terrain and encounters they find there.” (Ken Knabb, 1995)
