It took more than half a century to develop Wan Chai's Lee Tung Street, better known as Wedding Card Street. Unfortunately, the cluster of wedding card print shops which made the street famous are slated for demolition to make way for high-rises, despite the efforts of campaigners who are trying to save the city's landmarks. In a bid to preserve a collective memory of the street, the Community Museum Project is holding a photographic exhibition titled Street As Museum: Lee Tung Street. The exhibition's centrepiece is comprised of two large photographs which provide a complete view of the facade of the buildings in the street. Each image is made up of hundreds of separate photographs. 'These are images of Lee Tung Street that have never been seen before. Realistically, it is impossible for your eyes to take in a complete view of the street,' said Howard Chan of the Community Museum Project. Covering the whole street in a single photograph is technically impossible. After experimenting fruitlessly with a wide range of photographic equipment, photographer Tse Ming-chong came up with an original and challenging idea to create the two images. 'We decided to do it as if we were putting together a jigsaw puzzle. We divided the street into many small parts and shot them separately before putting them back together,' said Tse, who spent four Sundays high up in the air on a crane shooting different parts of the buildings. At ground level, photographer Tse Pak-chai photographed the people and shops in the street. During the process, which took about four months, he befriended residents and shop owners and heard many interesting stories about the street. 'One man told me that when he was a boy, the roofs of the buildings were interlinked. He used to run on the roofs to fly a kite, which could fly to where the Bank of China Tower is now located,' said Tse. The exhibition also features photos of a variety of objects, ranging from mail boxes and iron gates, to chronicle changes in the street. 'We have done much research and many interviews to gather themes and stories' about the street, said Siu King-chung of the Community Museum Project. 'If you read these visual cues carefully, you can comprehend the historical and cultural significance behind them.' The exhibition is being held at A-Link, located on the upper ground floor of C.C. Wu Building in Wan Chai, until next Sunday. Guided tours and printing demonstrations are available. For more information, call 2785 0428
