In this set of film stills, Soki So recasts the tangled density of Hong Kong's high‐rises as Piranesi's ‘Carceri’. It is a hyper‐realism that magnifies and intensifies the urban experience, highlighting the precariousness of current environmental and social conditions. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
