Since the 1980s, Wong took all possibilities to photograph historical architecture threatened by demolition in Hong Kong. She took photographs of landmarks or buildings that carried historical significance or were once frequented by locals.Wong’s photographs of these architectures are not merely documentary of history, they are also the artist’s subjective narrative of her personal experiences at these sites, as well as depiction of traces left behind by others.

Instant film photography of 1981-83 / 1981-1983
Beyond the feminine touches to the everyday objects and body parts Wong photographed, her instant film photography works are partial portrayals that anticipate and resist the sexist view on femininity, and which resonate with an east-meets-west aesthetics.
