About the ‘The Labyrinth’ exhibition:
‘The Labyrinth’, with a book soon to be published under the same title, is a series captured by rising photographer Christopher Button on his many late-nights spent in the underground stations of Hong Kong, where he transforms some of the city’s most crowded locations into a quiet, dystopian world. Shooting with analogue in an age dominated by digital media, he presents a horror film reminiscent of Kubrick’s cinema that is perhaps relatable to those who also feel trapped during these times of uncertainty.
About the Artist:
Christopher Button is an artist and photographer, living and working in Hong Kong. His inspirations are drawn from the city and cinema, particularly the films of Lynch, Kubrick and Tarkovsky. His quiet yet cinematic images look to explore the inner life of his subjects, gently unraveling the confines which surround us all, exposing venerability in darkness and beauty.

關於《迷宮》展覽:
《迷宮》為新晉攝影師 Christopher Button 多次於傍晚到訪地下鐵路站所拍下的系列，他將白天總是熙來攘往的一帶轉化成一個寂靜、反烏托邦的世界。當今一切都似乎被數碼化，唯獨 Christopher 仍熱衷於菲林攝影，其作品集結起來仿如一齣驚悚片，流露一絲絲名導演 Stanley Kubrick 的影像風格，而照片所湧現的無力感，或許能反映同樣處於未知境地的大家。另外，同名攝影書亦會於展覽期間出售。
關於藝術家：
Christopher Button 是一位在香港生活的藝術家和攝影師，其靈感來自繁華鬧市以及 David Lynch、Stanley Kubrick 和 Andrei Tarkovsky 的電影世界，作品探索萬物的內心生活，並帶有濃厚的電影感，嘗試用温柔剝開世界給我們的限制和枷鎖，讓我們在漆黑中瞧見美態。
