Text by John Batten
Also known as Stanley Wong Ping-pui

Anothermountainman (aka Stanley Wong Ping-pui) expresses his distinctive view of the city through a camera lens. His works are uniquely local, exuding a passion for Hong Kong as well as his unwillingness to compromise in his exploration of the real — not idealised — 'Pearl of the Orient'. His down-to-earth approach and love for social phenomena allow him to expose the true heart of Hong Kong. Anothermountainman's photographs are of iconic people — including the late calligraphy-graffiti artist Tsang Tsou-choi — and iconic places, including the Cenotaph, Oil Street, and even decrepit lanweilou (unfinished and abandoned buildings) in China. With them, Anothermountainman offers an alternative version of beauty — the touching beauty of presence and absence, and to touch those who want an unflinching account of the city.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
