We visited the Shek Kip Mei Estate last year, right after the whole place was boarded up. Alice found this photo a bit haunting, as one can only see the remains of the building. All the doors were torn down and it was possible to see inside the apartments. These apartments, too fancy a name, were all 100 square feet in size. The inside of each apartment was left empty, with the imprint of a previous existence.
Photographer Michael Wolf has done a great 100x100 collection of 100 residents before they evacuated from the estate. Some photos were unbelievably sad, but some were brimming with warmth and laughters. Wolf has an amazing eye for capturing the relationship between people and the architecture.
