How did the Walled City od Hing Kong come about? How was it possible for so many people to live and work in such appalling conditions, and yet in apparent harmony? 'City of Darkness' attempts to answer these questions. Before its final clearance, late in 1992, photographers Greg Girard and Ian Lambot spent four years exploring the City, interviewing many of its inhabitants and photographing them at work or in their homes.
