A fuchsia sign for a bridal shop, the Chinese “double happiness” character, a cool-blue flying dragon – luminous lights of dozens of neon signs removed from the streets of Hong Kong flickered on once again at a downtown exhibit.
The show at Hong Kong’s Tai Kwun – a historic police compound-turned-cultural centre – was curated by Tetra Neon Exchange, a group focused on conserving the city’s neon signs that are slowly being taken down due to building safety concerns.
