Description
Rough Edges, an exhibition of black-and-white photography by Robert Cook, offers a rare glimpse into the gritty, often overlooked corners of the city. Cook’s photographs depict a variety of settings such as urban villages, squatter areas and public housing estates across Hong Kong and the New Territories.
From Pok Fu Lam to villages like Kau Wai, Cha Kwo Ling, and Tsang Tai Uk, Cook’s passion for urban exploration reveals the raw, unpolished realities of these neighbourhoods, challenging the common perception of Hong Kong as a sleek city. This exhibition invites viewers to experience the city’s true urban fabric through Cook’s unique perspective.
