Tai Kok Tsui (2020)
Hong Kong’s elderly often hold this pose while walking. The slight lean forward and the hands behind the back seem to represent a sense of ease, confidence, and humbleness, all at once. Combined with the attire and accessories, this image captures a senior Hong Kong citizen’s subtle respect for themselves and their lived experiences.
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.
