"Wai Chai (Second Printing, Signed)" is a collection of works by Hong Kong photographer Chan Wai-kang (1976-). Chan Wai-kang, who taught himself photography and has continued to work mainly on self-publishing photobooks, is one of the leading figures in Hong Kong's local photographic culture. His approach of carefully capturing the lives of people and the atmosphere of the city, while delving deeply into the daily life of the city in markets, entertainment districts, residential areas, and back alleys, is common to many of his works. Wan Chai, the setting of this book, is one of the historic districts representing Hong Kong Island, known as a city where high-rise commercial areas, old residential areas, entertainment districts, and markets are intricately intertwined. This area, which often appears in Hong Kong films and literature, is also a symbolic place where urban development and memories of life coexist. Rather than simply documenting Wan Chai as an urban landscape, Chan Wai-kang focuses on the people who pass through the streets, the events unfolding on the streets, and the details of buildings and signs, attempting to capture the very essence of time flowing through this place. This perspective, which captures the city and its people without separating them, is strongly evident in this work, resulting in a book that quietly conveys the charm and complexity of Hong Kong.
