tokyo-camera-style: Seen: GOOD LUCK HONG KONG Who: ERIC / website Where: M2 Gallery, Shinjuku I mentioned here earlier that Eric and his Leica and his flash made it back to his hometown of Hong Kong for the recent Umbrella Revolution. Eric’s 1000 mega-watt intensity is here focused on the action in Hong Kong surer than any of the stuff he’s done before- there’s a maturity to these images that surpasses his earlier work- even his earlier Hong Kong pictures. Looking at his pictures I always feel that Eric’s allegiance is to photography first and foremost, ahead of any kind of politics or even aesthetics. I suspect that his thrill for it all is dependent on action but never quite about questioning the motives that power these flashes of movement that push him to trip the shutter. His working style is somewhat unconventional- with his shooting, exhibiting, online & print publishing sometimes overlap- Certainly this show is a hint of what’s to come as he works through this series in its various stages. Here’s to hoping one of those stages is a new photobook. GOOD LUCK HONG KONG is concurrently exhibited with Eric’s recent series on India, Eye of the Vortex, at Place M. -- source link
