Artist's Comments

Hongkew is one of the last neighbourhoods of Shanghai with the curious townhouses unique to the city. The buildings lead off a central alley: the only entrance being a small passage tot he front that doubles as a shop, housing food stalls, barber-shops and general stores. In essence, the workers of these stalls are 'gatekeepers' to the small community that lives on the other side.

Within a few years, these will all be gone...

Art will remain the most astonishing activity of mankind born out of struggle between wisdom and madness, between dream and reality in our mind.

It's probably Hongkou, but who am I to say...

When things "change every year and change radically each three years", only memory remains...
