Assignment 2

• At the rooftop of a building in Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong

• Part of my room

• The street at night

I like to explore Hong Kong at night more than during the daytime, it gives me a very different feeling. It is more fun for me to follow the lights after sundown, and sometimes silence is the loudest sound echoing in the dark.

• A place where I feel uncomfortable, a lively place, a relaxed place

I’m not local. The streets in Hong Kong are always full of people, sometimes I feel a bit disturbed that I can’t walk at my own pace because of the crowds, but at the same time there are so many things happening on the streets for me to observe. Hong Kong itself is indeed lively, in a complex way.

• A thing that is relevant for me

I take a lot of photos with my film camera, in color as well as in black and white. Films are something really important to me as they are more tangible, and because of the physicality of the latent image on them that really excites me. Also I like the smell of films.

• How I do things

Cooling down the chemical with iced vodka in the fridge. (didn’t belong to me I just borrowed for a while)

Out in the woods at the border between Inner Mongolia and Russia, shooting stars but forgot to bring tripod, and then there was beer tripod, which didn’t really help. (they rolled away with the camera)
