‘The Labyrinth’, with a book soon to be published under the same title, is a series captured by rising photographer Christopher Button on his many late-nights spent in the underground stations of Hong Kong, where he transforms some of the city’s most crowded locations into a quiet, dystopian world. Shooting with analogue in an age dominated by digital media, he presents a horror film reminiscent of Kubrick’s cinema that is perhaps relatable to those who also feel trapped during these times of uncertainty.

Christopher Button is an artist and photographer, living and working in Hong Kong. His inspirations are drawn from the city and cinema, particularly the films of Lynch, Kubrick and Tarkovsky. His quiet yet cinematic images look to explore the inner life of his subjects, gently unraveling the confines which surround us all, exposing venerability in darkness and beauty.
