Kwai Shing West Estate is a residential complex in Hong Kong that is home to 18,000 people. It attracted the attention of filmmaker and photographer Pascal Greco because of its architecture and its atypical hillside construction. This book presents the fruits of a ten-year harvest, and captures this strange fascination through both photography and film, accessible via a QR code.

”As in all Pascal Greco's photographic works, the precise framing sublimates the banality, of facade, of the subjects. By taking the time to stop and observe these architectural witnesses, the photographer induces a certain form of "aesthetic exhilaration" that is absolutely fascinating.”
Olivier Wyser, Le Courrier

”It’s beautiful and filled with a curious emotion.”
Pascal Gavillet, 24 heures
