Sau Mau Ping 2 (Grand format)
My first impression of Hong Kong was quite disconcerting – a dense city in the nature and a nature in the dense city: a vision far removed from the generally shared image of the city as an overly concentrated megalopolis. I started a photographic series on the subject, intrigued by this very close proximity between the city and its surrounding environment, when the urban meets the tropical forest.

Tom Spach is a French photographer born in 1987 and living in Vosges mountains. His photographs question our approach to space, the way in which human shape landscapes, fabricates territories. His outlook is influenced by his initial training as an urban planner and geographer, which led him to take an interest in transitional spaces and interfaces. The link to plants and the forest are also central themes of his photography. His series High Garden Hong Kong, finalist of the 2020 Levallois Prize, was published by Kehrer Verlag. In 2021 he is one of the winners of Fresh Eyes - Gup Magazine around emerging European photography.
