These images from Melbourne based photographer Ward Roberts' Billions series provide an interesting look at overlapping city forms through a study of light and reflection in Hong Kong's metropolis. The fractured geometric architecture destroys the city that was mirrored in the original images, instead opting to create a third, new city. Perhaps the result is an urban center inhabitable only by those with a cubist interest, those looking to inhabit a space in time, rather than simply being in space and time. These images seem reminiscent of a paused screen as a movie fades between cityscape shots. It can be seen as a representation of that negative space that falls between two moments of interest, where the mind is occupied simultaneously by what has come, and what will.
