Learning Curves/Shing Mun River by Alessandro Carboni

The new stage of Learning Curves takes place in Hong Kong and focuses on the Shing Mun River. The project intends to focus the research on the transformation of the landscape caused by major land reclamation that irrevocably changed the Shatin area.

The dramatic human activity around the Shatin area, which started at the beginning of the 1970s due to land reclamation and extension over the sea, transformed the villages into the biggest residential urban agglomerate in Hong Kong.

Alessandro Carboni spent two months studying, through an interdisciplinary approach between visual arts, geography and architecture, the Shing Mun River as a place of contact between the two points – the natural landscape and the urban and cultural landscape.
