Yau Ma Tei (2019)
Think of this as Hong Kong’s answer to Michelangelo’s enduring “Creation of Adam.” As the tattered glove returns what small change remains, two hands come together in a trade over a bed of green vegetables, creating the ties that bind the local Hong Kong community.
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.
