ABOUT WING KA HO-JIMMI

Wing Ka Ho, Jimmi (b. 1993) is a visual artist and documentary photographer from Hong Kong, now based in the UK. He graduated from the Royal College of Art.

Jimmi's works have been featured at The Photographers' Gallery, UK. He is a recipient of the 2021/22 Royal Photographic Society Postgraduate Bursary (UK) and a nominee for the C/O Berlin Talent Award (DE).

Among his series, "So Close and Yet So Far Away," featuring photographs from 2019 to 2023, takes viewers on a journey through Hong Kong’s colonial history, migration, and archives. By juxtaposing different times and places related to Hong Kong, he creates a new narrative.

Reflecting Jimmi's personal journey, the series illustrates his transition from longing for the past to adapting to new environments, culminating in a profound reflection on the notion of "home." This exploration underscores the ongoing process of decolonization amid change, linking our past to our future.
