"Sophisticated #2" is a work by Hong Kong photographer Chan Wai-kang (1976-). Chan Wai-kang has been photographing the streets of Hong Kong and the people who live there for many years, and is known not only as a photographer but also as an excellent bookmaker. His activities, which involve continuously publishing photobooks and small-print works that he edits and produces himself, without relying on commercial publishing or large-scale distribution, can be said to be an important practice that supports the uniqueness of Hong Kong's photographic culture. This work is also an instant camera print produced in an extremely small number of copies, only 15 copies, and is a work that is made up not only of the photographic image but also of the texture of the film itself and the traces of the artist's hands. It is characterized by the fact that it has acquired a presence close to that of a one-of-a-kind piece despite being a reproducible medium of photography, and one can feel Chan Wai-kang's creative attitude on an intimate scale that is different from large-scale works. It is a valuable work that conveys the experimental spirit of the artist and his deep involvement in self-publishing culture, which is different from his aspect as a Hong Kong street photographer.
