Unfolding Hidden Signage Stories in Tai Kwun, Hong Kong

Look Left Look Right: Historical Signage was an exhibition that traced the history of the Central Police Station through a presentation of various historical signages found at site, and an interactive self-guided walk with checkpoints scattered over the compound. Signages are seen everywhere.

They are hidden in plain sight, and we often pass by without getting to know their stories. The main exhibition area was designed to resemble the "hidden" signages in an abstract way by creating a blurry optical illusion to attract visitors. They were invited to stop by and unfold the 170 years of hidden signage stories layers by layers in Tai Kwun.
