In 2011 I was invited by artist, researcher, and curator Sampson Wong to Hong Kong to work with him on a project for the Hong Kong & Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism \ Architecture. We ran a workshop called “Mapping ‘Kai Tak Bund’: Creative Cartography and Visual Archaeology,” working with teenagers to visually document Kai Tak Bund in the Kowloon City District of Hong Kong, a piece of reclaimed land which contained the disused remains of the city’s first airport. The results of this project were exhibited in the Hong Kong Pavilion. This also provided me with the opportunity to spend a week photographing the city, resulting in this work.
