Behind Closed Doors is a photo series documenting the lives and living conditions of people living in squats in Hong Kong. This series covers around 50 households; among them, ten pictures were chosen for a competition.
The series was shot between March and May 2008 in the Lower Ngau Tau Kok Estate, which consists of the remaining squats that have not yet been redeveloped. The clearance of this estate is planned to proceed in January 2009, symbolizing the last phase of the redevelopment of public housing estates.
In the 1960s and 1970s, households used to keep their front doors open for better ventilation and to foster closer relationships among neighbors.
Nowadays, people mostly keep their doors shut, which greatly alienates relationships among neighbors.
Behind Closed Doors aims to explore how people in squats live by stepping into their homes. It also presents the audience with the issue of how squat residents perceive the intrusion of outsiders and foreign environments.
