An eye on Hong Kong - Keith MacGregor

Hardcover met stofomslag in nieuwstaat. Oddyssee 2000. A Portfolio of Photographs. Keith Macgregor documented Hong Kong during the economic boom period from the 70s to the 90s, a time of immense prosperity, social development and general optimism. Nearing the end of its status as a British colony, these photographs depict a fascinating time where the visual contrast between British and Chinese culture, as well as what could be described as the old and the new, was still immensely visible and played into what made the city dynamic yet still mystical in nature. An Eye on Hong Kong takes you on a journey through the city from urban to rural. It is a portfolio of Macgregor’s immense archive of photographs documenting Hong Kong as it has developed. Featuring over 300 photographs spanning 27 years, he presents a remarkable essay on the territories beauty, its colours and textures, and its local traditions and culture.
