Pak Chai Presents: "A Day in the Mountain"

Perched over 300 meters above sea level, Chuen Lung is a remote village that remained without electricity until 1968. This isolation stands in stark contrast to the rapid industrialization of nearby Tsuen Wan. To this day, the village elders vividly recall how modern life gradually made its way into Chuen Lung.

 

This project seeks not only to document the transformative effects of modern life from the 1960s to the 1980s but also to capture the unnoticed, mundane details of everyday existence. By recording a full 24-hour cycle of life in the village, the project aims to present a more holistic portrait of daily life in this unique setting.
