In this densely populated city, buildings move vertically up towards the sky. Through the process of looking at skyscrapers in different cities from an upshot angle, the artist studied the vertical extending planes of architecture closely, and discovered new “landmarks” of these buildings. The photograph captures Jardine House, designed by P&T and completed in 1973 as the tallest building in Hong Kong and Asia at that time.
About Eason Tsang
Eason Tsang Ka Wai graduated from the School of Creative Media of City University of Hong Kong in 2013 with a major in Photography. Tsang’s artistic practice has evolved from an exclusive focus on photography to experiments with other media and subjects, such as lightboxes, multimedia, and mixed-media installations, exploring the relationship between 2-dimensional images and 3-dimensional spaces. His works foreground a distinct perception that subverts common perspectives on everyday existence in the city. Commissioned to follow M+ Museum’s construction from 2015 to its completion in 2021, Tsang’s photographs transcend simple architectural records and are displayed at M+ Museum. Tsang received Design Trust Feature Grant for his design and photography research “RAW” with an upcoming publication, documenting the construction process of M+ Museum in Hong Kong.
