Tai Kok Tsui (2019)
A Sunday spent on refurbishment, the vehicle appeared here several times, in a neighbourhood district undergoing much of the same. The vehicle in this space is both a symbol of admiration and respect of the past, and a reminder that the “new” will paint and gloss over the stories and textures of before. Is this visual representation as advantageous as the message?
Gideon de Kock is a South African street and film photographer based in Hong Kong. What began as a way to scratch a creative itch evolved into something far more when he began documenting the streets of Hong Kong with film. With a photography style that has developed from confrontational and candid to more detailed-oriented investigations, Gideon has built a distinct perspective of contemporary urban environments. His skillful framings and compositions magically turn objects into decorative ornaments and elevate the banal.
