Hong Kong - Louis Vuitton Fashion Eye
HONG KONG
In 1962, the German magazine Revue asked Frank Horvat to team up with the writer Dieter Lattmann to create a number of features on major cities around the world. In late 1962, the duo thus arrived for a stay in Hong Kong, then under British rule, which had been seeing a massive influx of refugees from China over the past 10 years.
Horvat was fascinated to discover a dense city laid out vertically, packed with people, dwellings, objects and symbols, where empty space was unimaginable. It perfectly suited the photographer’s style because he liked to compose his images in black and white, filling the frame with his subject. As a large part of the commissioned work was not included in the published article, most of the images appearing in this book have never been seen before.
