“HKG” - Hong Kong’s International Airport code. Illustrative of the city’s transient nature, this code was used as the title of the photo book produced by Hong Kong photographer Vincent Yu in 1998.

 

“HKG” intended to be a record and testimony of the 1997 transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong from British to Chinese rule and the political and social effect on its people. The title is about to be re-published 20 years on. In addition to the original photographs, new images since 1997 will be incorporated in the latest edition. While reflecting the past under the concept of “Borrowed Place, Borrowed Times”, the publication also confronts the reality of present. “HKG - 20th Anniversary Edition” is expected to be hit the shelves in March 2018.  A limited edition of the first 97 copies will come with a signed print measuring on archival paper by Vincent Yu.

 

*** Estimated Publication Date: End of June 2018
