During cold sunny days in Hong Kong, the public open space under an office tower in Central turns into a sun-bathing plaza at noon, where office workers stand silently with their backs to the sun.
The Sunny Side Back, the photobook of the same title, is placed inside 1:1 studio, accompanied with elements translated from the public space in Central, transforming the studio into a constructed urban space. The installation explores the multiple viewing relationships between subject and camera, print and viewer, as well as semantic shifts between 2D and 3D during image making. It invites viewers to question their own perspective of looking: how we see, what we notice, and how our position shapes what becomes visible.
《曬背》記錄了在香港中環的一處公共空間，公衆在冬天的正午時分自發曬背的短暫現象。展覽將中環的公共空間於1:1 studio轉譯，邀請觀衆體驗攝影書内部的空間。圖像在平面與立體之間、正面與背面轉換，探討二維圖像在平面之外觀看的可能。展覽空間探討多重觀看關係，物體與相機之間，圖像與觀者之間，以及圖像在實體化的過程中二維與三維之間的語義偏移。展覽邀請觀衆思考觀看結果與個體的觀看方式及位置的關係。

Ji Xiang (b. 1994, Taiyuan) is an architect, photographer, and artist based in Hong Kong. He holds a Master of Architecture and a Bachelor of Arts in Architectural Studies from the University of Hong Kong. Ji’s work investigates the traces of change and temporality in daily life, examining the semantic shifts between three-dimensional physical space and two-dimensional visual representation. His recent projects explore the intermediate spaces between nature and human intervention, alongside the fluidity of geography and identity, seeking to establish open-ended narratives that invite contemplative viewing.
Ji’s work has been presented internationally in solo and group exhibitions. Notable presentations include a Collateral Event at La Biennale Architettura di Venezia 2025—with subsequent roving exhibitions in Bangkok, Shanghai, and Hong Kong—as well as his solo exhibitions Breathe. Home is Air (Lumos) and Gaze into Transience (Parallel Space) in Hong Kong. He is also an active participant in international art book fairs and photo festivals across Asia, including events in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Macao, and Taipei. Ji is the founder of JI XIANG Studio and has been an artist-in-residence at HKADC Artspace since 2025.
紀翔（1994年生於太原）是現居香港的註冊建築師、攝影師及藝術家。他畢業於香港大學，獲建築學碩士及文學士學位。其作品聚焦日常的變化痕跡與臨時性，在三維空間與二維圖像間的語義轉化中探尋開放的敘事可能。近期項目研究自然與人工之間的關係及地理和身份的流動性。作品展出於港澳台，深圳，紐約，新加坡，威尼斯等地。現為紀翔工作室創辦人，自2025年起為黃竹坑Landmark South ADC藝術空間駐場藝術家。
