After island

“After Island” is a photobook released by the Hong Kong-based independent photographer Chan Long Hei. The photographer is untangling the visceral meanings from within, through unfolding and letting a journey over his memories and reminiscences flit and glide.  

The photobook includes black-and-white images captured in a particular island in recent years, which are the projections of his intuition and instinct of the moments. They not only delineate his heaving sentiments and trajectory of thoughts in a memorable period of time, but also represent the tactile linkages he has with each landscape and object encountered on the road. The after images created by lights that glow on his retinas, are as if the private album sealed in the witness of himself and the South shore of the island.
