Alfred Ko Chi-Keung 高志強

APF2015_Alfred-Ko-Chi-Keung02Nocturne (2008)
Hong Kong

Nocturne are Ko’s stark black and white documentary of Hong Kong City at night. The city he presents is void of life and colour, almost apocalyptic. Mundane landscapes, objects, streets and facades become surreal symbols of discontent and rejection.
