Abstract

La ciudad amurallada de Hong Kong (Kowloon Walled City) fue hasta 1994, uno de los barrios autoconstruidos por la comunidad China de Hong Kong y de mayor densidad de la ciudad y en el mundo. Fue calificado, durante mucho tiempo, como un espacio laberintico ilegal, sede del crimen, lugar de comercio y espacio de esperanza. La investigación fotográfica realizada en 1993 por el fotógrafo canadiense Greg Girard, un documento completo del último año de vida de la ciudad amurallada de Hong Kong, tiene el valor de mostrarnos que el análisis de un espacio no se agota en el registro de la tipología, sino que es posible ir más allá, ahí donde el tejido humano está lleno de relaciones y equilibrios inesperados.
