Bio

Billy H.C. Kwok is based in Hong Kong and Taiwan, working at the intersection of art and documentary. The images he makes reveal rapid shifts in the geopolitical relationships and various forms of power structures present in where he lives and its neigbouring regions. The wealth of stories in the Pan-Chinese region and its extended areas have inspired Kwok greatly and is reflected in his works. Apart from still images and photography, he works individually and collaboratively for multimedia storytelling. 
 

Kwok was a Magnum Foundation Fellow (2018) and VII Academy Fellow (2023) selected for his project investigating the national archives in Taiwan, and family archives in Hong Kong. His work has been exhibited at The Royal Photographic Society, England (2024), SI festival, Italy (2024), Para Site, Hong Kong (2023), Foam Fotografiemuseum, Amsterdam (2021), Center for Photography at Woodstock: CPW, New York (2024), Landskrona Foto Festival, Sweden (2022), Sovereign Asian Art Prize (2024), Asia Contemporary Art Show, Hong Kong (2016).
