Artist Profile

Axel LING

b. 2000, French Guiana. Works and lives in Hong Kong.

Ling's interest lies in dissecting the unfolding of life, with the nature of photography to create a temporal space where light (time) is tamed and spirits merge.

The sensibly cropped and framed 'realities' in Ling's photographs aim to strike, guide, and serve as a navigational map in the flesh for oneself, nurturing whimsy thoughts and longing about one's life journey.

This forms the foundation of his practice as an artist-photographer, counting on photography as his primary medium.
