The first US monograph by Hong Kong photographer and film director Wing Shya. At its heart are behind-the-scenes portraits made on the sets of Wong Kar-wai's films, including Happy Together and In the Mood for Love — unguarded moments of actors such as Tony Leung, Leslie Cheung, Maggie Cheung and Gong Li between takes — interspersed with commercial work and private snapshots of nature and cityscapes. Shot on expired and re-exposed film, the book conjures a nostalgic, dreamlike Hong Kong punctuated by flashes of vivid colour.

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.

Images and rights

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.
