九龍城寨──西南面鳥瞰圖
1989年，2013年印
NARRATOR:
Aerial view from the south-west of the Kowloon Walled City, Hong Kong, is a colour photograph taken by Ian Lambot in 1989. It was then inkjet-printed and mounted on a Dibond® aluminium composite panel in 2013. The landscape photograph measures 91.7 centimetres high and 120 centimetres wide.
Taken from a bird’s eye view at sunset, the photo depicts hundreds of densely packed buildings in the Kowloon Walled City. Next to these unregulated buildings are public housing structures that have an orderly layout, and the Carpenter Road Park that’s mostly unvegetated.
Placed at the centre of the photo, the Walled City takes up approximately 60 percent of the image. It’s situated in the urban area next to a hill, constituting one big rectangular city block. The buildings have discordant heights and all of them are built around a rectangular central area, where the Former Yamen Building of Kowloon Walled City is located. Being one of the shortest buildings in the Walled City, the Former Yamen Building was surrounded by the other taller structures, forming an area that looks like a rectangular hole punched into the city block. The few hundreds of buildings are built back-to-back, with no obvious space among them. As a whole, the Walled City has worn out exterior walls and cluttered rooftops with diverse types of roofing.
From the north-west to the east of the Walled City, are modern public housing estates that consist of around six residential blocks. Some of them consist of elongated buildings that are joined at the sides, while the others consist of two parallel, staggered buildings that are joined near the ends. Some of them appear to be newly built while the others seem to have been inhabited for some years. The blocks are eight to twelve storeys high. The windows of all apartments are open to a broad view and most of them face south-east.
From the west to the south-east of the Walled City, is the Carpenter Road Park with public open spaces, a hard-surface soccer pitch, and basketball courts that are under construction. The public open spaces are mud grounds without vegetation, through which run sinuous paths with very few pedestrians. It’s sunset, and the sun shines from the left of the photo and illuminates the Walled City’s south-west exterior. The higher storeys and rooftops of the buildings inside bathe in the fading sunlight. The setting sun casts light on the Walled City, and the densely packed buildings seem to form a hill that in turn casts faint shadows on the public housing estates.
