Published by Zen Foto Gallery, Chan Wai Kwong's Yau Ma Tei is the photographer's first published monograph. Born and based in Hong Kong, Chan Wai Kwong's photographic work have previously only been obtainable as self-published photobooks. The photographer's 7 self-published titles include: The Moment, Wanchai, Ah~, Pingyao, Tokyo 1, TingTing Tenderness of a 19yr old girl. Focusing on his native city of Hong Kong, specifically Yau Ma Tei - an area in the Yau Tsim Mong District located in the south of the Kowloon Peninsula, Chan's images portray the city streets, its avenues and winding pathways to the broad and dense surroundings - iconic to the city's built environment. Here, Chan's reflection of the area neither subdues nor favors either landscape nor individual. What is accomplished within his depiction is a portrayal that engages viewers in a compelling dialogue between city and citizen.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
