LINES

'Lines' invites viewers to tour the former New Territories Magistracy to explore the evolution of Hong Kong's judiciary history. Opened in 1961 and located in a suburb town called Fanling, the Magistracy was the first to serve the district, with buildings in the compound made up of courtrooms, detention cells and offices for judiciary departments. In this project, I wanted to document my experience by going through the path of the defendants and understand the psychological effect of the environment that could affect emotions and judgement.
