As author Eve Tam describes, Wong Wo-bik – the subject of Hong Kong/China Photographers Four – is as much a detective or hunter as she is a photographer. Wildly imaginative and with an uncanny knack for discovering ‘the unseen in plain sight’, Wong creates images that exert a spell on the viewer, pulling one into an all-consuming world of the surreal and mysterious, and compelling one to ‘rewire’ one’s perceptions of everyday life.

Hong Kong/China Photographers Four includes highlights of some of Wong’s most significant works, including her 1980s Polaroid series, her boundary-blurring collaboration with the City’s Contemporary Dance Company in 1988, her ongoing visual documentation of historical architecture, and the recent photographic fabr icat ion/ instal lat ion developed from her ‘Eu Tong Sen’ series.
