Description

A Hong Kong Memoir is the evocative third installment in the trilogy by the late master photographer Fan Ho. In this final volume, Ho departs from his pure documentary style to explore the boundaries of the medium. He revisitied his vast archive of 1950s and 60s street photography to create stunning double exposures and composite images, layering textures of the past to evoke the “spirit” rather than just the facts of old Hong Kong. Published by Modernbook Editions, the book is a testament to Ho’s lifelong obsession with light, shadow, and the poetic resilience of the city’s inhabitants. It serves as a hauntingly beautiful goodbye to the “Old Hong Kong” that he helped immortalize in the global visual consciousness.
