HKIPF

Organised by the HK International Photo Festival and supported by FUJIFILM, the exhibition '300 Families Photography Exhibition' invited twelve professional and young Hong Kong photographers, with keen photographic insights they featured 300 local families living in this globalised metropolitan city. This exhibition on the contrary aims to provide positive living attitudes expressed through the beautiful minds of our photographed subjects and promotes multiple connections with our mixed living environments.
HKIPF, the abbreviation for Hong Kong International Photo Festival.

Adagio (slow) - Ms. Lee: “Life is impermanent. No one knows when they would reach the terminal. But we should still treasure everything here and now, and carry on. I wish all my family members peace. For a four-generation family, quarrels are inevitable. They should be harmonious to each others.” Photo: Thomas Lin, HKIPF

Forte/Fortissimo - Yiu: Yiu Shing is the name of the old lady’s husband. Yiu Shing Kee, the restaurant, was first located in Wong Tai Sin. Western fast-food was yet the trend, and wonton noodles were popular, particularly with their handmade noodles. Yiu Shing Kee moved to Pak Tin Estate owing to demolition of the old housing estate. With fewer customers, they stopped making noodles and started providing set meals. The restaurant finally closed down due to the reconstruction of Pak Tin Estate this July. Those staying till the end included: the old lady, who was the master of steamed fish; the elder brother, whose fingers were crushed by the noodle making machine; and the younger brother, who handled the art of cooking. Photo: Amber Au, Bobby Shum, HKIPF

Hong Kong culture is a mixture between Eastern and Western influences, globalisation repercussions have orchestrated the individuality of adolescents as well as emerging adults and developed a bi-cultural or even multi-cultural identity
