A few hours in HongKong

– November 15, 2009

I was working for Porsche in Zhuhai (in front of Macau) for 10 days. On my only day-off, I took the 1 hour ferry ride to go to Hong Kong.  I shot 1 film that afternoon. Hongkong reminds me ‘Playtime’ movie from Jacques Tati. It is modern and a bit dehumanized. Still hectic and exciting.

About Eric Leleu

I have been living in China as a photographer for a few years. My brain is obsessed by concepts such as authority, consumerism, capitalism, geopolitics, sociology or urbanity... In a word, I am interested in our contemporaries (you and I) and the world as it becomes. My focus is the dynamics of public spaces: the interrelationship between the authority, the crowd and the individual. As for my eye, it is looking for colors and intensity. My dream is simple: having a few of my photos living longer than me...
