CHOW, Nicolas

Playground

[Hong Kong]: Nicolas Chow, 2010. First Edition. Octavo in slipcase. 500 copies printed. The second book by Hong Kong based photographer, Nicolas Chow. Shot in color and black and white, with numerous gatefolds, Chow finds inspiration in the grainy glow of the post-Provoke era. A masterful layout, and a nod to Kikuji Kawada's The Map, add an energy and beauty to the sometimes desolate subject matter. Fine in gray boards, photo-illustrated slipcase.
