YU Pak Lin, YU Ka Ho Albert: Shifting Grounds at arthome


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Born in 1933, Yu Pak Lin started working for Cathay Advertising and McCann-Erickson in the 1960s. Around the same time, he bought his first camera and has never stopped photographing. Photography has since been his favourite medium to record the world around him. He is still constantly snapping away with his mobile phone today. His relentlessness of visually recording his life has resulted in a large collection of photographic materials. Looking through them, his son Yu Ka Ho was struck by the number of images depicting sites of demolition and construction. In this project, Ka Ho dived into this vast archive in an attempt to discover hidden narratives about the ever-changing landscape of Hong Kong, and responded with his own works.
