'Palimpsest' exhibition by Aussie photographer in Hong Kong

'Palimpsest' exhibition by Aussie photographer Nick Gleitzman receives a warm welcome from the Hong Kong SAR

Hong Kong (ANTARA News/PRNewswire-AsiaNet) - Officiated by the honourable Mr. Les Luck, Australian Consul-General to Hong Kong and Macau, the "Palimpsest" exhibition by renowned photographer and New South Wales native Nick Gleitzman in Hong Kong continues to receive acclaim from local and international media.

The term Palimpsest means "something which usually has diverse layers or aspects apparent beneath the surface."

The series showcases images captured at locations as diverse as Southern China to Stanley and Mid-levels in Central Hong Kong.

Hong Kong and Shenzhen's bustling urban landscape, in sharp contrast with New South Wales' natural surroundings, provides a new spark of inspiration to Nick's creative process. The Palimpsest series reflects this contrast of cultures.

"I was deeply stimulated by everything I saw and I was also immediately struck by the many contrasts that the city contains. At the same time as developing a strong sense of the pace of modern Hong Kong life, I went about recording my first
impressions of this fascinating new landscape."

Since the exhibition's debut, Nick's series have been featured in local and international media such as The South China Morning Post, The Hong Kong Economic Journal, Hong Kong Economic Times and Ming Pao Daily News. Nick Gleitzman also
appeared as a guest on "Morning Brew", a local morning radio show by Radio Television Hong Kong 3.
