As author Eve Tam describes, Wong Wo-bik — the subject of this volume — is as much a detective or hunter as she is a photographer. Wildly imaginative and with an uncanny knack for discovering 'the unseen in plain sight', Wong creates images that exert a spell on the viewer, pulling one into an all-consuming world of the surreal and mysterious, and compelling one to 'rewire' one's perceptions of everyday life. This volume includes highlights of some of Wong's most significant works, including her 1980s Polaroid series, her boundary-blurring collaboration with the City Contemporary Dance Company in 1988, her ongoing visual documentation of historical architecture, and the recent photographic fabrication/installation developed from her 'Eu Tong Sen' series.
