In the 1950s, the British Hong Kong Government installed public phone booths across Hong Kong.

We selected one of these now disused booths, about one square metre in size, wrapped it in a reflective cover, and drilled a hole into a coin from the colonial era, making a pinhole darkroom. Through inverted images, the viewer shuttles back and forth between landmarks before and after the handover, tracing the shifting political relationship between ‘deconstruction’ and ‘construction’.

A discarded phone booth, waiting to be dismantled, a memento of the Queen still being circulated today.
