Tony Mak (b. 1991) is a Cantonese Chinese visual artist. He works with mediums such as still images, films and explores on
cultural landscapes, regional history and local communities. His photographic works often concern with conflicts between the
past and the present, and humanities in contemporary times.
Often, he stands in a distant position to observe, and focuses on perceptual and introspective experiences with the objects
rather than trying to engage with them. His images possess a sense of objectivity yet are innately poetic.
It is arbitrary to simply associate photographs with 'moment' or 'reality', or to simply replace memories with photographs.
What we have often neglected is that, photography can be about imagination. Photographic imagination enables us to seek
eternity in linear time, which provides us with an invitation to explore our memories, to travel past time, or to dream about a
place that never exists.
