Liam Wong's world begins after nightfall and ends with the first lights. When the night is coming and the lights go out, their urban explorations and cinematographic narratives really begin.
In his previous career as a game designer, Wong learned that "real life is as powerful, strange and interesting as the things we can imagine." In his debut monograph, to: Ky: Oo, he captured the beauty of the city at night. In this new publication, Wong expands his lens from the city that became his photographic muse to Osaka, Kioto, London, Seoul, Paris and more.
The disturbing vacuum of Piccadilly Circus in London at 4:00 am, silhouettes in Seoul captured during the Monzones season, a wage earning waiting on an empty metro platform in the Akihabara district of Tokyo in front of the world's largest electronics store : mysterious ghosts that represent lives lived in the shadow, portrayed as intricate film visions, all before the sun rises. In this suggestive study of the cities after midnight, Wong documents how people and places are altered when night falls. Weaved life pieces, delicate and hidden threads, on the journey of an insomne for loneliness and uncertainty of the night.
