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 flaneur
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.
