Every Time They Ask, I Say I Don't Remember
On the quiet streets of Hong Kong, photographer Deacon Lui took one photo a day — tracing what remained after the 2019–2020 protests and the subtle, accumulating changes that followed the implementation of China’s national security law.
He kept this habit for 965 days, until the day he left the city for the UK.
This book is a visual diary from those three years, reflecting on what journalistic photography can be — when quiet absurdities began to surface, familiar parts of home slowly faded, and silence settled into daily life.
