A photo album taken from 1996-1999, between Hong Kong and London, between personal and published photos with Kwok’s wicked fascination with popular culture.
Charlie Yeung’s photo is pitted next to Revlon’s Charlie. Dylan’s photo (a name always attached to the good looking ones) is across from a power-pad. Grace’s pink and green outfit is flanked by a Canadian giant clam and Kylie is right on the bull’s eye 20/20 vision.
In ‘Camp’, embarrassments are reduced to a tit-ring and Hilfiger undershorts in a moment of elation. In ‘Men’, the subject is elevated to the status of a costume carrying Versace perfume bottle design prints. ‘Couple’ throws a pair of navy officers under the camera, clutching their green and gold carrier-bags. In ‘Objects’, the Joyce, Fila, Nike and Katharine Hamnett trucks coalesce the same space. Undoubtedly, Kwok has been moonlighting as the driver for the deliveries of these cultural consumptives.
