Mong Kok (2019)
Two enduring symbols of Hong Kong collide in this close-up image. A VLT carton juxtaposed with a Hong Kong minibus is a beautifully synonymous pairing capturing the ecosystem of the city.
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.
