Blue Lotus Gallery presents City of Lights, an extensive archive by photographer Keith Macgregor documenting Hong Kong’s neon-drenched skyline of the 1990s and 2000s. The book, featuring hundreds of previously unseen images, and accompanying exhibition serve as both a record of the city's iconic neon signage and a tribute to a bygone era: a time when these signs shaped the city's visual identity.

At its height in the 1980s, Hong Kong’s skyline shimmered with more than 100,000 neon signs. Today, fewer than 400 remain. City of Lights arrives at a pivotal moment, when the urgency to document and preserve this vanishing heritage has never been greater. A renewed fascination among Hong-Kongers is evident in the success of recent exhibitions at the Hong Kong Design Institute and Tai Kwun, presented in partnership with Tetra Neon Exchange (TNX), reflecting a collective desire to reconnect with and safeguard this defining chapter of the city’s visual history.
