Feature: Dezeen writes about Eden of the Orient

Dezeen wrote about my latest photo series “Eden of the Orient”

“Belgian photographer Kris Provoost explores the striking juxtaposition of Hong Kong's "hyper-dense" housing and natural landscapes in his latest photography series, Eden of the Orient.

Eden of the Orient gives an insight into Hong Kong's unique built environment, which is enveloped by greenery but recognised as one of the densest places to live on Earth.

"Hong Kong is extreme in its immense density, nowhere else do you have to deal with this level of density. Wherever you look, there are high-rise residential towers," Provoost, who lives in Hong Kong, told Dezeen.”
