Jeremy Cheung: SplitSecondCity at JCCAC

Hong Kong International Photo Festival 2020 Satellite Exhibition

In an era where antagonism and calmness could coexist, traffic lights are both a faithful navigator and a silent witness of a city’s history. From the beginning of 2019, the artist roved about different districts of Hong Kong, capturing streetside fragments that occurred within "3 seconds" when the yellow light was on. Like the function of the yellow lights, Hong Kong is also undergoing constant transition/tussle between GO (green) and STOP (red). This 30-image photo series adopts a parallel space-time installation which keeps an unofficial record of ‘ordinary/unusual/new ordinary’ stories, including significant and trivial moments that happened since 2019.

Venue address: L5 Common Space, Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre, 30 Pak Tin St, Shek Kip Mei
