With an introduction by Futura.

Following his Los Angeles installment, Parisian photographer Karl Hab returns with a brand new book titled 24H HONG KONG. From aerial views of skyscrapers to ground-level captures of unassuming passersby mazing their way through traffic, Hab offers 196 pages of visual content that puts viewers into the shoes of locals. Collectively, he wanted “to show the contrasts of the city through his own vision,” as per the book’s description.

In the introduction written by graffiti legend Futura, the artist expressed: “Karl takes us on an intimate journey throughout its streets congested with density and color.” Having added that the book is “an adventure in the metropolis with wonderful backdrops.”
