Located in the West Kowloon Cultural District, the M+ Museum of Visual Culture has officially launched a new installation by internationally renowned photographer Greg Girard. This captivating piece of art promises to guide viewers on a visual journey exploring the urban life of Hong Kong. The installation will be showcased on the fa\u00e7ade of M+ from July 4 to September 28, every evening.<\/p>\n

Based on the private film photo collection captured by Greg Girard from the 1970s to the 1990s, this depiction reveals the bustling streets of Central, showcasing the everyday lives of students, fashion enthusiasts, and office workers. It also beautifully integrates rare images of the dismantled Kowloon Walled City. Other scenes highlight the vibrant streets illuminated by neon lights, dynamic nightclubs, and iconic moments from Hong Kong’s film stars. As planes soar over the former Kai Tak Airport, the busy scenes along Victoria Harbour come alive, reflecting the city’s ever-evolving energy.<\/p>\n

Greg Girard, known for his skill in documenting the transformations of urban landscapes, allows his photography to return to its creative roots through HK:PM, transforming seemingly casual scenes into timeless visuals. He mentions, “Create ‘HK:PM’ is a journey of rediscovery. This commissioned work for the M+ curtain wall has given me the opportunity to revisit these old photographs and present each segment of Hong Kong’s modern history like a film.” Su Siu-chi, Senior Curator and Head of Moving Images at M+, also notes, “HK:PM is an engaging collection of photographs that captures cinematic emotions within still images, proving that Hong Kong continues to be an endless source of inspiration for artists.”<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
