The Goethe-Institut Hongkong will present Leung Chi Wo's new series of large format photographs in the upcoming exhibition "Asia's World City" from February 20 to March 21, 2009. This photo project will be presented in a further elaborated format as part of the exhibition Artificial Paradises in the ifa galleries in Stuttgart and Berlin from April to October 2009.

Where is Asia's World City? Despite the branding of Hong Kong by the HKSAR government since 2003, the indistinct slogan intrigued the artist's serious quest for its meaning of "Asia", "World" and "City". In February 2008, over 70 people responded by email to the artist's call for making wishes for the "Asia's World City". A wish list was compiled, in which twelve were chosen as "unaccomplished" wishes to appear on the "Asia's World City" banners along Hollywood Road in Central as a public space installation for the Hong Kong ArtWalk 2008. For this exhibition at the Goethe-Institut Hongkong, a new series of large format photographs will be made as the artist's interpretation of a few selected wishes from the list, in addition to the only remaining original banner saved from the street, a wall text-installation and photo-documentation.

In 2006 the Goethe-Institut Hongkong has presented Leung Chi Wo's another set of photos entitled Domestica Invisibile on the topic of domestic space adaptation in Hong Kong.
