SIX PORTRAITS by Holly Lee
vintage gelatin silver photograph, 8x10 inches (1993-94)
Visual Research into Contemporary Hong Kong 1990-1996, organized by the Hong Kong Arts
Centre, Wong Wo Bik, and others, featured the works of 31 participating photographers, including
Holly and myself. Holly photographed a series of six portraits of artists, which could be seen as an
extension of her earlier series on artists, though it adopted an entirely different approach. In 2019,
while revisiting past works, this series of photographs was published in DOUBLE DOUBLE, issue
1106-2020, accompanied by a piece of note written by Holly. Here, we reprint it in its entirety.
For me, the nineties in Hong Kong was the best of time. While hesitating about climate of the
city’s future, people inevitably had to move forward. Everything was in motion, everybody worked
enthusiastically toward identifying one thing or the other; Chinese, Hong Kongese, pre-colonial,
post-colonial, and the degree of Britishness affecting and intervening ordinary people’s lives. For
a moment, we did have a cultural identity crisis, and many cultural projects produced around
that period reflected just that - who were we as a Hong Kong people? In 1993, I was invited to
work on the third phase of a project curated and directed by Wong Wo Bik namely A Metropolis:
Visual Research into Contemporary Hong Kong 1990-1996. My contribution to the project was to
take portraits of selected artists, who were from different area. Basically we knew each other well
because there weren’t many working in the arts and it was a small and tight-knit circle. However,
they represented certain aspect of Hong Kong activities and creativities in the nineties, and
admittedly they were among the best in the art field. In the course of organizing some old pictures
I came across these six prints again, but found one - Sunny Pang’s portrait missing. Instead I
located the test strip. As a matter of fact,
this mini series of portraits had never been
officially exhibited. The 8x10 prints that I
found and which are on view here were work
prints, a small part of the printing materials
for the more substantial book printed in
1996 as a result of the multi-year visual
research project.
