“Traces of Hong Kong” is part of the ongoing mission of URBAN POET HK (UPHK) to connect Hong Kong creatives with global audiences through multisensory storytelling. This exhibition reimagines iconic Hong Kong streets through scent and design, translating memory, history, and emotion into a deeply immersive experience. 

Presented by Victoria 1842, a Tokyo-based cultural studio known for exploring colonial archives and the afterlives of Hong Kong governors, this show shifts focus from monuments of power to the everyday streets that bear their names. Paired with Vancouver’s Ollie & Co.’s handcrafted scent, each street becomes a portal into the collective memory of a city in motion—alive with incense smoke, kitchen steam, and rain-washed stone. 

Through spatial direction by Eliza Wong, the exhibition invites visitors to trace the city’s layers—not just through what is seen, but through what is remembered and felt. 

《城香記》是 香港都市詩人URBAN POET HK（UPHK）藝術項目的一部分，致力透過展覽與文化交流，將全球香港創作人社群連結起來，藉由氣味與設計語言，重構香港街道的集體記憶與情感軌跡。 

由位於日本的香港文化研究工作室 Victoria 1842策劃，延續其對香港殖民歷史與總督命名街道的長期研究，這次展覽將目光從權力中心轉向街頭日常，透過 溫哥華氣味設計師Ollie & Co.手工調配的香氛，喚起人們對城市氣息的記憶：廟宇香煙、市集蒸氣、雨水沖洗的石階等等。 

展覽同時融入香港設計師Eliza Wong的視覺與空間設計，構築出一場跨感官的敘事旅程，讓觀眾以鼻息與想像走進屬於香港的街道故事。 

About “Traces of Hong Kong”
