Palimpsest at The American Chamber of Commerce, Hong Kong
August 2008 – March 2009

     

Following the successful debut of Palimpsest at The Rotunda, the exhibition was transferred to the AmCham offices and meeting rooms where it was enjoyed by AmCham staff, members and guests for a six-month period.

Award-winning photographer Nick Gleitzman visited Hong Kong for the first time in July 2007, and, struck by the many evident contrasts here, went about recording his first impressions of the transience, the impermanence, that exists at the fringes of the development of the modern city. He found and photographed fragmentary evidence of past stories, suggestions of layered information, and, using digital imaging technology, turned them into powerful graphic images that provide a personal insight into the recent – and not-so-recent – history of the city and its people.
