Yuen Long wet market at night 晚上的大橋街市
2010
Trevor Yeung’s photograph, Yuen Long Wet Market at Night, captures a traditional wet market located in Hong Kong’s New Territories. Taken in the evening, Yeung focuses on the market after the bustling social and economic activities of the day have ended. Eerie and bereft of life, the space depicted here is almost unrecognisable. The puddles of water filling the crevices of the uneven concrete floor are all that are left behind after a day’s labour. Characteristic of Yeung’s photographs, the image documents a scene devoid of its usual subjects, evoking a feeling of loss or melancholy. The work is part of Yeung’s larger endeavour to examine his memory of the places that he has visited.
