"Signed?" is a collection of works by Hong Kong photographer Chan Wai-kang (1976-). A self-taught photographer, Chan Wai-kang has spent many years photographing the streets of Hong Kong and the people who live there. Rather than large-scale projects or museum-led activities, he is known for publishing many self-published photobooks that he edits and produces himself, totaling dozens of books. His gaze is consistently focused on the everyday life of the city, including markets, alleys, entertainment districts, residential areas, and local communities, and he has shown a strong interest in the presence and relationships of the people who live there, rather than the Hong Kong that is often talked about as a glamorous international city. This book, which is similar to his works that focus on specific areas such as "Yau Ma Tei" and "Wan Chai," is a quiet observation of the connection between the land, origin, and community, as indicated by the title "Signed?". The title, which includes a question mark, evokes a sense of the complexity that people cannot be described by a single attribute, and the photographs themselves do not offer clear answers, but rather pose questions to the viewer through the figures and expressions of the people and the passage of time. This is an interesting work for understanding the activities and perspective of Chan Wai-kang, who has supported Hong Kong's local photographic culture. Signed by the photographer .
