If you are into street art and graffiti in Hong Kong, you may find the name and the face of Alexandra Unrein (Alex) familiar. Alex, aka streetartorama, is a street art photographer, tour guide and author. Over her 15 years of dwelling in Hong Kong, she has immersed herself in the vibrant world of street art, conducting personal interviews and capturing the essence of the city through her lens.
Lately, she has taken up another daunting task of self-publishing a book on Hong Kong Street Art. Self-publishing means a process of taking on all roles of a traditional publisher, from writing and editing to design, from marketing to distribution. For Alex, it also means selecting her own photographs, communicating with the artists she interviewed and flying between Berlin, where her designer and adviser lives, and Hong Kong, where the printing and distributing will take place.
While the journey of self-publishing might not be as colourful as the street art in Hong Kong, it is for sure exciting if not unnerving. Whether you are interested in Hong Kong Street art or you are planning to self-publish your own photobook, we welcome you to join the sharing and Book Launch with Alex on 25th October.
