HONG KONG AS CREATIVE PRACTICE - EDDIE TAY KART...

In this book  Hong Kong is seen as a labyrinth  a postmodern site of capitalist desires  and a
panoptic space both homely and unhomely. The author maps out various specific locations of the
city through the intertwined disciplines of street photography  autoethnography and
psychogeography. By meandering through the urban landscape and taking street photographs  this
form of practice is open to the various metaphors  atmospheres and visual discourses offered up
by the street scenes. The result is a practice-led research project informed by both
documentary and creative writing that seeks to articulate thinking via the process of
art-making. As a research project on the affective mapping of places in the city  the book
examines what Hong Kong is  as thought and felt by the person on the street. It explores the
everyday experiences afforded by the city through the figure of the flâneur wandering in
shopping districts and street markets. Through his own street photographs and drawing from the
writings of Byung-Chul Han  Walter Benjamin and Michel de Certeau  the author explores feelings
affects  and states of mind as he explores the city and its social life.
