Description
“Reality is a suppositional arena” is the creative idea behind Almond Chu’s series of photographs. Chu took photos of the landfill at Tseung Kwan O, the reservoir next to Tseung Kwan O Chinese Permanent Cemetery, a minefield at Shek O, a field full of construction waste at Yuen Long and a recycling plant at Chai Wan. The “landscapes” represented in these photos are all artificial, reflecting the destruction of nature by mankind. Chu hopes that the audience will show more concern for and take greater care of nature after viewing the situation we have now placed it in.
