Goethe-Institut Hongkong is pleased to partner with the Hong Kong International Photo Festival again this year by hosting the exhibition SOMEWHERE IN TIME by local artists Tang Kwong San and Yuen Nga Chi at the Goethe-Gallery and Black Box Studio from October 5 to 26, 2023.

In the 1950s, the British Hong Kong Government installed public phone booths across Hong Kong. The artists selected one of these now disused booths, about one square metre in size, wrapped it in a reflective cover, and drilled a hole into a coin from the colonial era, making a pinhole darkroom. Through inverted images, the viewer shuttles back and forth between landmarks before and after the handover, tracing the shifting political relationship between ‘deconstruction’ and ‘construction’.

Join us in the "Somewhere in Time Pinhole Workshop" on October 7, 2023 (Sat) from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM in the Goethe-Gallery and Black Box Studio! Participants will experience how artists create with pinhole photography, understand its principles and make their own pinhole camera. Click on the link below to register.
