High Hopes (2018) Photograph by Serge Horta

This artwork of a dense apartment building in Hong Kong tells the stories of its inhabitants. Over decades, each owner adapted their apartment to suit their own needs, altering window sizes and shapes, enclosing balconies, and painting in various colours.
The close proximity to hundreds of neighbours yet complete anonymity invites viewers to reflect on the quiet moments and hidden narratives within urban life, where each box represents a different apartment. The building’s tightly packed structure serves as both a connection and a barrier, encouraging contemplation of identity, community, and the mundane yet unseen moments that shape city living.

This print is produced using archival inks on Hahnemühle Photo Rag paper, a gallery-standard 100% cotton paper renowned for its durability and matte finish. Hahnemühle has been making high-quality art papers for centuries, and photographers love it for its consistent quality, archival longevity, and ability to bring out the subtle details and tones in their images. The result is a luxurious print with a soft matte texture and exceptional detail. The colours of this stunning fine art print will look just as vibrant as the original, even after 100 years.
