Wai Hang Siu 蕭偉恒

Wai-Hang Siu primarily engages with photography. His work uses different methods and photographic principles to express Siu’s solicitude for society and his contemplation on the medium. History threads Siu’s practice and is the vessel through which he uncovers the worldview of being a Hong Konger. The subject matters are coupled with his take on the nature and strength of photography, highlighting the encounter between traditional photography and contemporary digital work.
