Solace is a collection of works by Hong Kong photographer and film director Wing Shya. Known for his still photography for Wong Kar-wai's films, Solace is one of the key figures who has visually shaped the aesthetic of Hong Kong cinema since the 1990s. He has expanded his work beyond film to include fashion and art, and has earned international acclaim for his masterful style, which skillfully manipulates light and shadow, moments and lingering impressions. This is his first monograph in the United States, and includes behind-the-scenes portraits of actors such as Tony Leung, Leslie Cheung, and Maggie Cheung taken on set in films such as Buenos Aires and In the Mood for Love, as well as personal snapshots and tranquil landscapes. His gaze is consistently sensitive, revealing a fluctuating emotional atmosphere. The faded texture of the film and the blurred focus create a poetic world that resonates with the viewer's memories. This is an impressive book that features Win Shya's unique, tranquil gaze, as if gently closing the distance between himself and his subjects.
