To say life moves fast in a city is an understatement.

People go through life in an uncompromising, chaotic pace,

overcoming and absorbing anything in their path.

Time in the city seem to flow quicker, memories in the city

tend to fade away faster.

Nothing seems to stand still in a city.

A UN report suggested that by 2050, the world's population would reach 10 billion, with three-quarters of humanity living in our already swelling cities.

Using Hong Kong as a starting point, this project aims to be a documentation of our increasingly overpopulated world.

Hong Kong was my city of residence from 2014 to 2017. With a population of over 7 million but less than 25% of its land developed, it is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. When I first landed, I was immediately confronted by a society that is in fierce competition for physical and mental space.

I decided to capture and re-create the tension and chaos that I experienced in photographic form, using multiple exposures on B&W negatives.

The creation of each photograph requires me to be fixed at a specific location from between 5 to 7 hours per session. Through the viewfinder of an old Hasselblad, I created each photograph by overlapping selected individuals or groups of people within the 6 x 6 frame.

The resulting photograph is not of a singular moment in time, but a multitude of moments in time captured in a single frame.
