About MÉNOS
Ménos" means "Mind" in ancient Greek, "Less" in Latin. In the age of image and utilitarianism, from our mind to our world, from each of us to the whole group, we aim to take photography to reality and make it pure.
MÉNOS was established in 2018 with a commitment to promoting local photographic cultural exchanges. The collective organizes photo-sharing sessions and community welfare activities for both young people and the elderly. Within a year of its formation, the group gathered works from various members and published the photo album Prologue, themed "Hong Kong Street," to honor the overlooked individuals of the city.
The members come from diverse backgrounds, including film directors, university lecturers, and construction workers, capturing unique perspectives based on their social positions.
Book
《Prologue: HK Street》
The debut photobook serves as a visual manifesto for the city’s overlooked narratives. The central theme of Prologue is a commitment to documenting 'forgotten people of Hong Kong.' More than just an artistic record, the book establishes the collective’s mission to bridge creative practice with social advocacy and community outreach.
《The Weight Of Silhouette》
《也無風雨也無晴》分成三個章節。起首以赤紅色作主題；紅色可以表達很多訊息，在傳統中國文化上則代表喜慶、節日、新的開始；中段利用黑白相片表達這幾年的轉變，利用歷史事件如疫症封城和香港運動員奪奧運金牌，再加插日常街拍照片，側寫我們的情緒起落；最後用一系列彩色照片作總結，相片的顏色以藍、綠、黃做主軸。最後的章節是一個開放結局，讓讀者感受書中所醖釀的情緒。
