Catalogue Note
I wanted to find a place where "east meets west." It's Cat Street (officially called Lascar Row) located between Central and the Western district (the Chinese title for this piece is: Between the Middle (kingdom) and the West). I made 6 pinhole pictures of the intersection along and around Cat Street. Then I arranged them according to their position shown on the map.
