The COVID-19 pandemic brought about drastic changes in Hong Kong and across the world, and the subsequent resilience in early 2023 had profound social and economic repercussions. With the restoration of geographical mobility, we have witnessed shifts in landscapes that may transform perceptions of homeland and family. These changes ignite inspiration and creative encouragement among photographers, paving the way for a new chapter in Hong Kong art.
As the flagship exhibition of the 2024 Hong Kong International Photo Festival, Mega Family: Imagining Home aims to explore these evolving physical, cultural, and even mental landscapes. The exhibition invites fifteen photographers from different generations to showcase portfolios about Hong Kong. All of the works were created in the 2020s, serving as a visual documentation of the social changes experienced under the new normality.
Together, these artworks weave an ongoing, non-linear Hong Kong story, where the personal and collective intertwine, where the subjective and imaginary engage with objective reality, and where nostalgia and futurism reflect and inform one another.
