This volume offers an account of recent and current art made in
Hong Kong in the years leading up to the handover of British
sovereignty to China in 1997. This process differed from many other
experiences of the post-colonial elsewhere in the world in that it
did not end in independence but in absorption into a much larger
entity with an entirely different political system. Until now, the
cultural aspects of this transition have not been given the
attention they deserve, apart perhaps from the analysis of film.
The author addresses this by considering a wide range of media,
including painting, sculpture, photography, video and installation,
as well as other kinds of visual production such as architecture,
fashion, graphic design and graffiti. He shows how the approach of
the handover heightened a sense of local identity, and how this
found expression in the politicized art that became common at the
time.
