HKFP Lens: Exploring Hong Kong’s abandoned villages through the eye of photojournalist Stefan Irvine
Hong Kong Free Press
Hong Kong’s Blue Lotus Gallery is launching an exhibition that explores the city’s abandoned villages through the lens of British photojournalist, Stefan Irvine.
The exhibition, which will run from January 12 to February 25, features several of the city’s isolated settlements and houses that have been abandoned and reclaimed by nature.
“In more remote parts of the territory, entire villages appear to have been abandoned overnight. Furniture and personal items remain untouched even decades later, giving precious insight into the lives of the families that once thrived there,” Irvine, who has been based in Hong Kong for 21 years, said in a statement.
The “Abandoned Villages of Hong Kong” exhibition will run from 11am to 6pm, Tuesday to Sunday, from January 12 to February 25, 2024 at Blue Lotus Gallery, G/F, 28 Pound Lane, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong.
