Extended edition of Kwan’s previous Dark of City
Dark of City won the Overall Champion of the First Hong Kong Photo Book Awards, 2012
Homebound takes you on a journey through the veins of the 'dark side' of Kowloon as seen through KC Kwan's lens. The journey starts on the bus from Chai Wan, takes you along the busy markets in Mong Kok, invites you to dine at a dai pai dong, peeps into the lives of the girls of the night and encounters the junkies. Then there is the blue moment — a silence when the creatures of the night go quiet but the day ones haven't awoken yet. Eventually the sun bursts through the darkness and energises the streets back to the hustling and bustling life again.
