The photographer’s archive finds new light across Victoria Harbour
HK:PM, a new commission by Canadian photographer Greg Girard, has taken over the facade of Hong Kong’s M+ Museum. The large-scale projection brings Girard’s archive of analogue photographs into motion, animating decades of city life across one of the world’s largest public screens.
shot between the 1970s and 1990s, the work moves through central’s crowded streets, the neon glow of long-gone nightclubs, and intimate moments inside the now-demolished kowloon walled city. it’s a cinematic remix of hong kong’s past — familiar, raw, and alive.
“this commission offers me the unique opportunity to revisit these photographs, transforming fragments of hong kong’s recent past into a cinematic sequence,” girard shared.
running nightly through september 28, hk:pm feels like a love letter to a version of the city that still lingers — flickering back to life, frame by frame.
