For a long time, the city of Hong Kong has seen the rise of many well-known photographers, with works that are based on the streets of Hong Kong. What makes Hong Kong a hub for street photography? What is the attraction and appeal of the city's streets and alleys, allowing different photographers to create internationally renowned works?
With its vibrant street life and culture, as well as decades of rapid development, Hong Kong's cityscape is ever-changing, compelling its visitors to notice the old and new elements hidden within the city. Every mundane moment reveals countless possibilities of beauty, and every second is an opportunity for photographers to compose poetry with their apparatus.
In this joint exhibition of ‘The Streets of Hong Kong’, works of street photography from different periods and styles will be exhibited, from the inception of Hong Kong as a port to the present day, allowing visitors to explore different facets of street photography through various lenses.
長久以來,香港這座城市孕育出不少知名攝影師,而當中許多主題都離不開香港街道。到底香港為甚麼會成為街頭攝影天堂?當中有甚麼吸引力甚至魔力,讓不同攝影師締造出登上國際大舞台的經典作品?
豐富的街頭生活、充滿活力的街道文化,加上於數十年期間的急速發展,香港就猶如一幀變化不斷的風景圖,新舊交錯且引人入勝。每一剎都埋藏着無數美麗的瞬間,每一秒都是攝影師以相機作詩的機會。
是次《香港街頭》聯合展覽,我們將會展出由香港今昔以來的不同年代、不同風格的街頭攝影作品,帶領大家從視覺上出發,穿梭走於各個鏡頭下所記錄的街頭故事。
