Hong Kong with a view upwards.

Many people who think they know Hong Kong usually only remember the glass facades of modern skyscrapers, the huge shopping malls and the modern parts of the city. In Hong Kong, however, life pulsates between modernity and tradition. This is the subject of the latest monograph by photographer Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze entitled Echoing Above. In his photo book, he shows the lesser-known parts of this city, which is now part of Chi-na, and puts the usually somewhat distorted image in perspective. With his pictures, he invites us to look upwards and discover the often overlooked beauty of its sky and architecture.

The online magazine Colossal recently reported in detail on this book and the planned exhibition in Hong Kong.
