In 2022, Hong Kong artist Kongkee was invited by the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco to bring his work from Hong Kong to the city.

The exhibition, titled Warring States Cyberpunk, featured his animated work Li Sao Illusion (離騷幻覺) and a range of animated installations. The largest piece was a totem-like structure built from Hong Kong’s iconic neon signage, glowing with the memory of a city. After the exhibition ended, the museum reinstalled this neon monument on its terrace, facing Hyde and McAllister. By night, its light spills onto the street, adding color to the dark.

In 2024, the Asian Art Museum entrusted me with photographing Kongkee’s neon installation for its archival record. We chose to work in the winter dusk. San Francisco’s nights do not blaze with light the way Hong Kong’s do, so we had to catch the last fragile trace of daylight to reveal the contours of the surrounding city. Once night had settled in, I let the museum’s interior glow and the streetlights outside weave together, balancing the frame and letting the neon breathe within the darkness.

2022年，香港藝術家江記（Kongkee），獲三藩市亞洲藝術博物館邀請，將他的藝術作品，由香港帶來三藩市。當年我以三藩市本地電視台記者身份訪問他，從而結緣。展覽以《Warring States Cyberpunk 戰國竉克》為題，展出動畫作品離騷幻覺及不同的動畫裝置，其中最大型的展品，是以香港城市著名的霓虹燈所做的圖騰裝置。在展覽過後，亞洲藝術博物館將其裝置，安設於博物館的平台面向 Hyde 夾 McAllister 街的方向，晚上為街道添上了色彩。

到了2024年，我受到亞洲藝術博物館的委託，為博物館拍攝江記的霓虹燈展品，用作亞洲藝術博物館的存檔紀錄。拍攝時間為冬季的黃昏時段，畢竟三藩市晚上是沒有香港那般的燈光催燦，要把握還有丁點日光的時間，來取得周邊環境的面貌，入黑之後，就以館內及街道的燈光來平衡相片的構圖。
