Sham Shui Po (2020)
A common symbol of Hong Kong, this four-coloured canopy protects what’s underneath from the city’s harsh sun. Accidental aesthetic and details appeal, from top-to-bottom while lines coincide to bring our focus to the center in a beautifully graphic depiction of the charm of chance.
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.
