WONG Wo Bik

To photograph architecture, especially those on the verge of existence, has become important for me as it allows such architectures to be encapsulated in photographic space. “Memory and Fiction” exhibits images of those once-a-landmark or buildings that were not considered ‘built heritage’, but carried historical significance or were once frequented by locals. Their demolition was inevitable, yet it left behind many untold stories that triggered me to press the shutter.
