Description

City in the Dark 息夜城

Hong Kong is a sleepless city which does not rest even in the dark. Late night Hong Kong is not just about time, but a place of its own that showcases high social and cultural values. This ‘City in the Dark’ is very often under-estimated due to its low exposure to a majority of people. The late-night city is an important wheel as well as representation of Hong Kong people's obscured livelihood. By shading light on late-night city, this design project hopes to bring out the deeper meaning behind late night, the city and the society for people to better understand Hong Kong, our city.

香港是一個不夜城，即使到了深夜亦未見休息。深夜的香港不只代表了城市的一個時段，更像是一個自成一角地運行的國度，裏面包含著她獨有的文化景象和深厚的社會價值，卻因很少被踏足而遭低估。這個深夜城市作為城市齒輪的角色，和其對民生的代表性都很有意思。這個設計項目通過呈現對這個城市的觀察，希望帶出深夜、城市和社會背後的意義，以讓受眾去真正了解我們所居住的地方。
