Currently on display at Modernbook Gallery are vintage photographs of Hong Kong from the 1950's and 60's by Chinese photographer Fan Ho. Ho has won 280 awards from international exhibitions and competitions worldwide since 1956 and has been elected Fellow of the Photographic Society of America, Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society and Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, England and an Honorary Member of the Photographic Societies of Germany, France, Italy, Belgium, Brazil, Argentina, Singapore.
The Living Theatre is a follow up publication to Fan Ho’s succesful debut monograph Hong Kong Yesterday (Modernbook Editions, 2006). Featuring 150 black and white images of Hong Kong in the 1950’s and 1960’s, The Living Theatre showcases the lives and environs of the people who inhabited the city. From bustling markets to lonely alleyways, Ho captured the mood and the atmosphere which permeated the changing metropolis, imbuing the mundane senes he saw through his lens with a sense of drama that belies the everyday moment in view. An exhibition featuring images from the book will be on display at Modernbook Gallery (Palo Alto, California), from June 3 through August 2, 2009.
*Join us Friday, July 10, 2009, from 7pm - 8:30pm for our special Artist Talk Series with Fan Ho, hosted by Brian Taylor.
