This GOOD Edition by Holly Lee, was released on the occasion of the exhibition - Hong Kong: Tales of a city (Part I) at CHINESE CONTEMPORARY XCHANGE.

Hong Kong: Tales of a city (Part I) features photographic work by Ringo Tang, Holly Lee and Lau Ching-ping, all of whom were very active in the photography scene in Hong Kong during the 90's. Ringo Tang and Holly Lee's work were produced around mid-90s, when both were engaged in alternative photography. It was also a significant period in the history of Hong Kong - a few years before the hand-over from Britain to China in 1997. The works, in a way, were shrouded by sentiments and political uncertainties. In contrast, Lau Ching-ping's work was produced after 1997 and presented a much calmer gaze. Drawn from his series - Thin as air, these images of the city deliver a sense of stillness and remoteness. The full set of "Thin as air" was exhibition in Toronto in 2006. It was reviewed by Gary Michael Dault in Toronto's Globe and Mail.

Ringo Tang and Holly Lee, both worked actively in the photography industry since the early nineties, witnessed an important period of change when Hong Kong - a British colony since 1842, was to return to China in 1997. Hong Kong was then one of the most prosperous cities of the far east. But the transfer of sovereignty of Capitalist Hong Kong to Communist China had raised a lot of concerns and many people had left Hong Kong for United States, Canada, United Kingdom and any other destination with no communist influence. Ringo Tang's photographs were produced around 1995. He used his lens to capture the city, its sights and sounds, smells and movements, joys and melancholies. Holly Lee's work is drawn from her series of transfer images titled Memories of Hong Kong (1994) . Using old postcards, family pictures and sometimes footages from her assignments, she collaged and juxtaposed these images, blending collective memories with personal histories, questioning identities and future government policy. Both work had been shown in VanCouver in 1996.

Holly Lee has worked as a professional photographer since the 1980s. She was awarded an Asian Cultural Council fellowship in 1994 and was the recipient of the Grand Award and two Gold Awards from the Hong Kong Institute of Professional Photographers (1995) and Best of Multimedia in the Pan Pacific Digital Artistry Competition (1996). She lives and works in Toronto since 1997.
