"Tokyo 2020 (Signed)" is a collection of works by Hong Kong photographer Chan Wai-kang (1976-). A self-taught photographer, Chan Wai-kang has spent many years photographing the streets of Hong Kong and the people who live there. He has built his own unique path as one of the leading figures in the Hong Kong photography scene, with self-publishing photobooks as the core of his activities. He consistently delves deep into the everyday life of the city, such as markets, entertainment districts, residential areas, and back alleys, and looks at the presence and relationships of people behind the glamorous image of the city. His gaze is directed not only to Hong Kong but also to Tokyo, which he has visited many times. This book is one of a series that uses Tokyo as its subject, and it can be seen not as a travelogue observing a foreign city, but as a record of the distance between a photographer and the landscapes and people he encountered while walking around the city. Chan Wai-kang's photographs are characterized by their careful capture of the atmosphere and human presence that permeates a place, rather than treating the city as a symbol. In this book as well, he looks at the small events and accidental moments hidden in everyday life through the megacity of Tokyo. This book, born from the photographer's shift in focus from Hong Kong to Tokyo, reflects his unwavering interest in cities and people.
