This publication is the outcome of a project by the Hong Kong Arts Centre inviting professional photographers and photographic artists to explore the theme of the coming of 1997. Its aim is to gather images that reflect the situation in Hong Kong and the lives of its inhabitants before and after 1997 for future research. Two exhibitions and several seminars were arranged as part of the project, with a total of 31 participating photographers.

With poems by Leung Ping Kwan and essays by Wong Wo Bik, Yvonne Lo, S.Y. Lee, Desmond Hui and Leung Ping Kwan. Biographies of the photographers are included.
