Did you ever curious about the old look of Causeway Bay while you wander around its busy streets these days? Now Living Room Museum has been set up outside Time Square will bring us back to the 60s/70s Hong Kong.
The exhibition named “Dr. Leo KK Wong’s World of Images – My 60s And 70s Hong Kong” is featuring Hong Kong photography master Dr Leo KK Wong’s old black and white photos taken during 60s and 70s. Diving into the art of light and shadow, we get to know the view of the fishing village’s housing estates and look of the streets.
It was a time when the city’s economic growing rapidly, but most of the citizens were not rich, and were living a quiet and simple life. Many people lived and worked on water or in rural area. There were no computer, tablet or TV game for kids. They played with neighbors and helped with adults’ work. And those kids are the people who made Hong Kong a prosperous metropolitan today.
Causeway Bay is the heart of Hong Kong, packed with crowds of shoppers, art exhibitions in malls are easily overlooked. Time Square arouse shoppers’ attention by setting up a huge transparent pavilion, successfully attracts the crowd and hence increases their chance to indulge in arts. The exhibition pavilion is named as “Living Room Museum”. The idea of “Living Room” is to turn Time Square into the living room of the city, a place where people can gather, chit chat and enjoy the moment, just like living room of our “Home”, allows visitors to experience a different kind of Cultural Feast.
