Selected Hong Kong Series🇭🇰
◤ 彌敦道 Nathan Road
2005年，設計師兼攝影師盧健雄開始拍攝全長3.8公里的彌敦道，將一格一格的相片合成一幅街景長卷。徐徐展開，逐頁翻閱，逐幀細味，配合中英雙語解說，呈現彌敦道每個角落、每塊門牌、每位路人與時空的對話。
In 2005, designer-photographer Kenneth Lo began documenting Hong Kong’s 3.8-kilometer Nathan Road, stitching individual frames into a seamless urban scroll. Slowly unfurled, page by page, with bilingual narration, it reveals the street’s hidden dialogues—every storefront, every passerby, every moment in time.
◤ 老爹媽思廚 Grandma Grandpa Cook
四十多位公公婆婆親述童年與時代往事，並記下拿手菜譜。芝麻糊、蠔仔粥、冬菇髮菜蠔豉燜海參、炒米餅⋯⋯這些粵菜，承載著傳統、往昔歲月、香港情味，更是家的溫暖。
Over forty grandparents share childhood memories and imprints of their era, alongside recipes for their signature dishes. Sesame sweet soup , refugee congee, stewed sea cucumber braised with winter mushrooms, black moss and dried oysters, fried (crispy) rice cookies…These Cantonese cuisine represents tradition, childhood, bygone hardships, Hong Kong‘s culinary heritage, the taste of home, and ultimately, love.
◤ 揦西設計 Lesser Designs
S鉤、五味架、用紙皮墊枱腳、巴士站的綠色半透明玻璃上蓋、送貨的木板車、串珠公仔⋯⋯藝術家蕭競聰認為，這些看似雜亂無章的「揦西設計」，實則是香港人最生猛的空間生存智慧。
S-shaped hooks, racks for the seasoning jars, cardboard paper as table stabilizers, translucent green bus shelter roofs, wooden delivery carts, beaded figurines... To artist Siu king-chung, these seemingly haphazard ”makeshift designs“ embody the city’s most vibrant spatial ingenuity.
◤ 我住石硤尾 Our Home, Shek Kip Mei (1954-2006)
得知香港第一代公營房屋石硤尾邨即將消失，攝影師余偉建走進政府檔案館，閱讀1954年石硤尾大火的報告、徙置居民統計表⋯⋯他決意拿起相機，執起紙筆，記下那場大火、那些制水年月、那所天台學校、那幾家夕陽店舖，攝錄面臨遷徙的居民，留住回憶。
In 2005, when photographer Vincent Yu discovered that Hong Kong‘s first public housing estate, Shek Kip Mei, was about to be demolished, he went to the government archives. There, he pored over reports of the 1954 Shek Kip Mei fire and resettlement census statistics... He knew what he had to do. Armed with a camera and a pen, he set out to document the transformative fires, the water-rationing years, the rooftop schools, the fading neighborhood shops, and, finally, the faces of a disappearing community.
◤ 傳說我城 Our City Our Legends
2010年，香港藝術中心的工作坊裏，「講古人」雄仔叔叔率先講起了故事，鼓勵市民分享社區與自身的記憶或趣聞。連續兩年，每月第三個星期三晚，眾人聚首一堂，講他們親近的人、熟悉的地方、切身的事物。這些軼事與趣聞，最終匯集成《傳說我城》。
