Trained in architecture, Justin reconstructs spaces and events from memory, archives, and imagination. These works explore how form shapes our understanding of history, experience, and identity.
Currently, he’s working on Searching for Poon, a project that reconstructs the lost memories of his grandmother. Other projects include documenting histories around a disappeared hill in Hong Kong during the late Song Dynasty, as well as chronicling the events surrounding the sightings of unidentified flying objects in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1997.
Past projects include New Territories, which portrays the changing landscapes of Northern Hong Kong, challenging colonial narratives and notions of boundary; Urban Africa, Made in China documents Chinese development across Africa and explores its influence on the continent's urban future; Black Mountain, Red Earth chronicles the collapse of mining towns and the emergence of the multinational mining industry in the Zambian Copperbelt.
He works and lives in New York and Hong Kong.
