CHAN DICK × LIGHTIME BLOSSOMING The Trek: When Body Encounters Ink
How do you sense the presence of your own body?
In The Trek: When Body Encounters Ink, Hong Kong photographer CHAN DICK and calligrapher LIGHTIME BLOSSOMING trace the unseen landscapes of the body through the dialogue of lens and brush.
This exhibition unfolds as an intimate dialogue between image, ink, and breath. Through layered seeing and feeling, it transforms the body from an object of observation into the origin of perception itself.
CHAN DICK’s photographs approach the body with quiet tenderness. Lungs branch like trees, the pelvis rises like distant peaks, and the greater omentum drifts like a translucent veil. These are not anatomy lessons but living landscapes within. Gazing at them, you are drawn inward to traverse your own inner body scenery.
Printed on SKIN fine art paper, the photographs evoke tactile intimacy. In response, LIGHTIME BLOSSOMING inscribes the names of body parts on skin-toned cicada paper, letting each ink stroke breathe upon the image like a second layer of skin. Only by gently lifting the paper can viewers uncover what lies beneath—an act akin to touching their own depths.
Together, the two artists bridge photography and calligraphy to explore the body’s dual nature—its material and spiritual aspects. The lens captures the texture of flesh, while the brush grants language to sensation. Their collaboration invites us to ask how we recognize its quiet presence in daily life.
The Trek – When Body Encounters Ink Date: 2026.02.06 – 03.07 Time: 2-7pm (Wednesday-Saturday, By Appointment) Venue: 顯影堂 DEVEDO , 6J, Block 2 Kingley Industrial Building, 33 Yip Kan Street, Wong Chuk Hang.
Hong Kong-based photographer CHAN DICK was fascinated by simple lines and minimalistic compositions. Chan’s works often explore the ambiguous attraction between reality and illusion, as in the photobooks I SEE and The Trek.
His iconic series “Chai Wan Fire Station” won first prizes at both the Tokyo International Foto Awards and the Hong Kong Photo Book Awards. This series was exhibited in Japan and the Netherlands and is now in the collections of the Hong Kong Heritage Museum and Japan’s Irie Taikichi Memorial Museum of Photography in Nara City.
LIGHTIME BLOSSOMING
Lightime Blossoming, founded by 33 (“saam 1 saam 1”), is a creative brand focusing on calligraphy and graphic design in Hong Kong. 33 has been working on calligraphy, drawing on traditional Chinese calligraphy as a foundation to transform and incorporate her own imagination and ideas.
By indicating the image’s structure, rhythm, and solids and voids, she practises the diversity of changes in thoughts and emotions in detail. The style is either soft and gentle, or hard and heavy, like the wind. Her artworks have primarily been printed on paper and circulated as prints and zines, and she has begun creating personal works.
About DEVEDO
顯影堂 DEVEDO is one of Hong Kong’s rare photography bookstores, founded in July 2025 by LAU Tung-Pui, founder of the Hong Kong photography platform PhotogStory. In addition to offering a wide selection of photography books, DEVEDO also regularly hosts photography talks and exhibitions.
Hong Kong Photographer Mak Fung (1918-2009) began photographing in the mid-1940s and documented the city’s street views and grassroots for more than half a century.
Hong Kong Once Was: 1946-1980s, a tribute exhibition to Mak Fung, was inspired by his 1997 photo book. It is an exquisite collection of photographs of old Hong Kong taken by Mak Fung from 1946 to the 1990s.
Hong Kong was a small fishing village. In Mak Fung’s photos, images of sampans in Aberdeen and drying salted fishes in Tai O remind us of its past. As a colonial city, Hong Kong’s architecture, such as the third-generation General Post Office in Central and Hong Kong Club Building, is reminiscent of history. Mak Fung’s lens also captures the street scene of Hong Kong and the daily life of ordinary people, such as the Graham Street market and the peddler on the street.
The exhibition showcases over 20 silver gelatin prints made in the 1990s and Mak Fung’s publications.

Chan Dick ”Chai Wan Fire Station“ 10th Anniversary Photo Exhibition
2024 marks the 10th anniversary of Hong Kong photographer Chan Dick‘s iconic work, ”Chai Wan Fire Station.“ PhotogStory is pleased to present a special exhibition of this marvelous series.
It all began with curiosity. For over six years, Chan Dick had been in his studio with the ventilation window closed. The outside world had never piqued his interest until a sudden howl pierced the silence one day. Intrigued, he approached the window and saw firefighters enjoying a volleyball game.
His studio window overlooked Chai Wan Fire Station and offered a vantage view of assemblies, washing up fire engines, pupils’ visits, and volleyball games. That tiny window opened up a brand new chapter of a curious journey.
Initially, his gaze was drawn out of sheer curiosity, and he spent a month simply observing. The more he saw, the more he was captivated. Chan Dick dedicated 15 months to meticulously documenting the Fire Station‘s daily routine, sifting through 1,500 images to curate a collection of 40 that would become the photo book Chai Wan Fire Station.
同樣在1997年創作的《大選美》(The Great Pageant Show)，是「Hollian Thesaurus」系列中最多人認識的作品。肖像攝影是黃楚喬的重要創作，早於1981年，她便以4×5大片幅相機身邊的藝術家朋友拍攝肖像，包括導演許鞍華、攝影師梁家泰、作家蔣芸、詩人關夢南、藝術家麥顯揚及梁巨廷等（這系列作品被香港文化博物館收藏），地點則她與同是攝影師丈夫的李家昇在中環成立的攝影工作室。
Renowned Hong Kong artist-photographer Holly Lee (1953-2024) passed away recently in Canada at 71.
Holly pioneered conceptual photography in HK and experimented with Photoshop to create composite photographs that resembled oil paintings. Her most notable series, Hollian Thesaurus, was made between 1994 and 2000 and was collected by the M+ Museum.
Holly Lee has been a professional photographer since the late 1970s. She was one of the founders of Dislocation, a monthly photography journal in HK that was active from 1992 to 1998. She immigrated to Toronto in 1997, where she and photographer Lee Ka Sing set up an art studio space from 2000 to 2018. The duo published an online weekly periodical, Double Doube, in 2019, showcasing their diverse creations throughout the years.
In 2024, Holly presented her new fiction, “Sushi Grass in Paradise,” and three works for The Hollian Thesaurus in a duo exhibition in WMA in Sheung Wan.

Hong Kong Photographer Mak Fung (1918-2009) began photographing in the mid-1940s and documented Hong Kong’s street views and grassroots for over half a century.
Hong Kong was a small fishing village. In Mak Fung‘s photos, images of fishing boats in Castle Peak Bay, Aberdeen Tanka boat people, and Tai Po fishing port remind us of its past. As a colonial city, Hong Kong’s architecture, such as the Union Building(now Chater House) and the third-generation General Post Office in Central, is reminiscent of history. Mak‘s lens also captures the street scene of Hong Kong and the daily life of ordinary people, such as the Graham Street market, the water wells in Kowloon City, and the children playing on the streets.
”Hong Kong Photographer Five-Mak Fung,“ published in 2010, is an exquisite collection of photographs of old Hong Kong taken by Mak Fung from the 1940s to the 1990s. The photo album also includes movie stars in the 1950s and 1960s, such as Lin Dai, Xia Meng, etc., witnessing the golden age of the Hong Kong film industry.
第二章是「Law of Desire」，作為一名同志攝影師，李志超拍攝過不少裸體作品，無疑為當時性觀念仍十分保守的社會，帶來一定程度上的衝擊，他的照片令人反思身體與慾望的法則。這個章節同時收錄多幅他為《妖夜迴廊》(同名電影也由他執導，吳彥祖主演)、《放火燒城》、《暗夜機密》等個人小說及為《少年邪》、《巴黎私生活》等散文集拍攝的封面，也有為外國作家拍攝的書籍封面照片。
張焯退休前曾從事攝影沖曬業務，八十年代結束店舖生意後，他曾將一批底片沖曬成銀鹽相片。由於為人低調，整批照片從未展示於人前，只是擱於床底下的紙箱，就這樣默默存放逾二十年。2012年，前《攝影畫報》主編伍小儀說服他舉辦展覽，在石硤尾藝文空間「光影作坊」舉辦《那些年 張焯舊日情懷作品展》，展出二十幅1960及1970年代的黑白影像，引起不少迴響。事隔兩年，同樣在伍小儀的遊說下，從影逾六十年的張焯，才於2014年姍姍來遲出版首本作品集《香江掠影——張焯攝影集》，收錄逾百幅他在1960及1970年代拍攝的寫實照片。文章轉載自《Milk Motor Club》，完整版本請瀏覽《Milk Motor Club》037期。
