Overview
If only we could wander around Hong Kong through time to document the transient places and faces before all is gone and forgotten.
Beginning their journey in Beijing, image makers Zero and Hailey illustrate the differences between how places used to be and how they are today by juxtaposing the present with old photographs in the same frame.
Connecting the present with their pasts in 108 photographs: Are we rediscovering ourselves or are we saying farewell to the past?
