This is the second edition of Vertical Horizon. Vertical Horizon is a photographic journey between the buildings of a relentlessly growing city. It is a deep immersion into the city s thick atmospheres, and a visual record of clues in a search for the missing element that brings unity to its wildly diverse built environment. Both introverted and extroverted, Vertical Horizon is a contemplative dive into the raw nature of Hong Kong and an expression of its vertical elan.

Wild Concrete is a series about resilience of nature in an urban environment. No matter how clever we are at dominating our environment with concrete structures, nature somehow finds its way to fight back. This reminds us that our concrete jungle eventually would have to give in to the force of nature if we d let go, as captured by Romain s images of sprouting flowers and maturing trees on unlikely places. Focusing solely on the phenomena of trees sprouting from residential buildings in the busy districts of Hong Kong, Wild Concrete compares the living conditions between plants and humans both growing in a harsh surroundings. In this series the trees share the same exceptional qualities as their human counterparts: perseverance, diligence, and independence. In pursuit of a small patch of blue sky in the vertical city of Hong Kong, Romain looked up to the skyscrapers and developed the Vertical Horizon series. Returning with Wild Concrete, Romain has continued with his fla nerie through the same concrete jungle. Exploring his fascination with the humble yet indomitable presence of nature in the harsh urban environment.

Since relocating to Hong Kong, French-born fine art photographer Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze has spent countless hours documenting the quirks, beauty and complexity of his adopted city. His latest work, The Blue Moment, is an architectural series that captures the day s final moments, before dusk settles over the metropolis. Enveloped in a deep blue blanket, the city s artificial and natural lighting combine to create a near-mystical atmosphere. In these blue moments , the true Hong Kong is revealed; a high-density urban landscape still subject to the influence of nature.

Watercolour artist Mark J. Roberts has lived in Hong Kong for more than 30 years; for 10 of those years, he has worked on a single project that has culminated in My Hong Kong. A collection of pastoral landscapes and coastal scenes from around Hong Kong, each of the works is imbued with a sense of movement rarely seen in traditional Western watercolours. Setting Roberts further apart is his use of layered washes and varied tonal values, which bring a hint of Far Eastern culture and history to the works and add poignancy to their views of a city's fading vistas.
