The photographs in Hong Kong After Hong Kong are Chung-Wai's visual lament for the city. They show the city's contradictions-the co-existence of urban infrastructure and nature, the ancient and contemporary, and both the artificial and natural light of the city swathed by sea. Although one of the most densely populated cities in the world, Chung-Wai's photographs are devoid of crowds and often show solitary figures against cinematic backdrops. His images were made roaming on foot and alert to overlooked details, taking the viewer on a walk with him through the city he previously called home. 'These photos were initially intended to record the present moment, but now they seem more to depict the past, and tell the future'.

Wong Chung-Wai is a photographer and filmmaker. He has worked in the film industry for more than 10 years as a production manager, location manager and scriptwriter. In 2021 he was shortlisted for the Emerging Artist Award in the Lucie Scholarship Program. His work has been featured in Its Nice That, Creative Boom, F-STOP Magazine, Noice Magazine and Abridged Magazine. Hong Kong After Hong Kong is his first monograph.
