Ok Chan: Another Kind of Ordinary at Artspace 1999


  • Hong Kong Hong Kong (map)

Road, hill, road, mountain, road, plain, desert, dirt track, plain, road, plain…

Long concerned with the urban spaces we continually use and remake, the work approaches each ordinary moment with sustained attention through large- and medium-format film photography. This time a journey through Mongolia forms the axis: the everyday is no longer the familiar repetitions of the city, but a renewed dialogue with land, distance and time.

The artist works primarily with film photography. As a Hong Kong-registered architect who is currently pursuing an MA in Arts and Cultural Enterprise at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London. His photographs have received a Silver Award at the Prix de la Photographie, Paris PX3 (2025) and a Silver Award at the Budapest International Foto Awards (2025). Recent exhibitions include As Days Go By (2025, Hong Kong), Decode Gallery: Landscape (2026, Arizona) and the Hong Kong International Photo Festival’s “Guest with Guest” exhibition (2025, Hong Kong).
