HKDI pays tribute to Leslie Cheung with rare photos and immersive experiences

The Hong Kong Design Institute (HKDI) and the Hong Kong Institute of Professional Photographers have come together to pay tribute to the late Cantopop icon Leslie Cheung with the 'Leslie・Grace at 70 Exhibition'. The exhibition, which runs from now until November 15, showcases a collection of rare archival photographs, immersive experiences, and modern design works inspired by Cheung.

Divided into three thematic zones, the exhibition features original Polaroids, negatives, and prints, as well as a recreated darkroom and the original silver microphone stand from Cheung's 'Final Encounter of the Legend Farewell' concert. Over 400 students from various design disciplines participated in the project, creating fashion concepts and contemporary visual art inspired by Cheung's iconic style. The exhibition is free to attend, but visitors must register and book a slot online in advance.
