Let us take you on a trip back to 1980s Hong Kong to relive that intoxicating time when the city seemed full of promise and infinite possibilities. Our journey begins in Canada with a young Greg Girard, then only 18, who was so deeply struck by Eliot Elisofon’s 1962 photograph of the Hong Kong harbour, that he made it his life's mission to get here and see it for himself. He arrived by boat in 1974 and in 1982 decided to settle down in this bustling city. Drawn by Hong Kong's dynamic blend of east and west, Girard spent the 80s roaming through all its many nooks and crannies, capturing Hong Kong as he saw it, raw and very much alive. The period of time helped Girard defend his photography path and became a well-respected artist himself. Blue Lotus Gallery proudly presents HK UNSEEN, photographs by iconic artist that have never been published or exhibited before. 

HK UNSEEN is part of HKIPF Satellite Exhibition 2021 as a collaborator.
