《TO:KY:OO》作者Liam Wong

一部对午夜后的全球城市进行令人回味的电影探索 

——

继他的专着《TO:KY:OO》捕捉了东京的夜景之后，Liam Wong将他的镜头从这座成为他精神和摄影缪斯的城市扩大到大阪和京都、伦敦和首尔、巴黎和罗马。但他走得更远，在家乡爱丁堡雾蒙蒙的历史街道中寻找丰富的夜生活，深入大城市重庆的后街，并从屋顶捕捉香港的垂直性。

通过他的镜头来捕捉世界上令人兴奋的城市的夜晚

——

无论多么不同或相距多么远，夜晚的城市都有一些共同的特征：霓虹灯和孤独的人物，安静的火车站和出租车司机，空荡荡的建筑物和街道。在《天黑之后》中，Liam Wong遇到了在这个时间里不同的人和地方，生命的碎片，将这些细线编织成一个失眠者的夜间旅程。

通过之前担任视频游戏设计师的工作，Liam Wong了解到“现实生活就像我们能想象的那样强大、奇异和有趣。” 通过不眠和孤独的夜晚，利亚姆·王探索了城市生活中的孤独现象，捕捉了黄昏和黎明之间的城市间隙：凌晨 4:00 伦敦皮卡迪利广场的诡异空虚，首尔的深夜出租车司机沿着安静的道路行驶，两个人香港TSM区的鸟儿分享着霓虹灯招牌的温暖，东京秋叶原区世界上最大的电子商店前空荡荡的地铁站台上，一名工薪族正在等待——神秘的剪影代表着生活在阴影中的生活，被描绘成错综复杂的电影视觉，一切都在太阳升起之前。

●内容简介——

From Liam Wong, the author of TO:KY:OO, an evocative, cinematic exploration of global cities after midnight. 

No matter how different or far apart, cities at night share particular features: neon lights and lonely figures, quiet train stations and taxi drivers, empty buildings and streets. In After Dark, Liam Wong encounters the people and places, the slivers of life, that move differently in this time, weaving these fine threads into an insomniac’s journey through the night.

Following his début monograph, TO:KY:OO, which captured Tokyo’s nocturnal beauty Wong widens his lens from the city that became his spiritual and photographic muse to Osaka and Kyoto, London and Seoul, Paris and Rome. But he goes further still, seeking the rich tapestries of nightlife in the foggy historical streets of his hometown Edinburgh, penetrating the backstreets of the megacity Chongqing, and seizing the verticality of Hong Kong from its rooftops.

Through his previous work as a videogame designer, Wong learned that “real life is just as potent, bizarre and interesting as things we can imagine.” Through sleepless and solitary nights, Liam Wong explores the phenomenon of loneliness in city life, capturing urban interstices between dusk and dawn: the eerie emptiness of London’s Piccadilly Circus at 4:00 am, Seoul’s late-night taxi drivers moving along hushed roads, two birds sharing the warmth of a neon sign in Hong Kong’s TSM District, a salaryman waiting on an empty subway platform in Tokyo’s Akihabara district in front of the world‘s largest electronic store―mysterious silhouettes representing lives lived in shadow, portrayed as intricate, cinematic visions, all before the sun rises.
