"Wounds of Hong Kong" photo exhibition
Hong Kong photographer Ko Chung-ming’s “Wounds of Hong Kong” was one of the finalists of the 2020 Sony World Photography Awards.
He started a crowdfunding to start another project recording the protest in Hong Kong, hoping to keep everything on record.
He was admitted to hospital twice due to the side effects of tear gas, so he had to step down from the front line and work on other positions. He suggested that photography is his common language with the world, that’s why he will keep on doing it. “I am from here. I tell stories from here,” he said.
Wounds of Hong Kong exhibition details:
Date: 13/6 - 4/7/2020
Time: 1200 - 2000 Tue-Sun
Venue Sponsor: Openground, 198 Tai Nan Street, Sham Shui Po

#ProtesterStory
[Wounds Of Hong Kong]
Young man, whose metacarpal bone was smashed by police baton: “At least I can still come out, I'll get over it.”
Part of a series of photographic documentary by Ko Chung-ming, this is the story of a young man whose life was disrupted and altered after sustaining injuries from being beaten by the police.
Based in Hong Kong, Ko Chung-ming is a veteran photographer with 20 years of experience in news photography. In 2019, he still believed he could roam freely at the scenes of conflicts to document the people and stories in the social movement. However, he can no longer physically participate due to chronic back pain. In August of last year, Chung was hospitalized twice after breathing in teargas. Since then, he had to retreat from the frontlines. He did not want to sit on the sidelines, so he started to focus his work on photographing victims of police brutality. His collection of work called Wounds of Hong Hong won first place in the professional category of the Sony World Photography Awards 2020.
