“For one could say that we know something simply by its counter-part; that we know night through day, light through dark, presence through absence, remembering through forgetting and, I would argue, involvement through disengagement.”
No Place - Like Home, Lily Markiewicz (2007)

Where Do We Belong is a collaborative project by two UK-based Hong Kong photographer Jimmi Ho and Victoria Li. Being Hongkongers that seek education in photography in the United Kingdom, this book is a collective effort made by the two artists to explore topics such as memory, self-identity, belonging.
Throughout the project, they exchange photographs occasionally to respond to themes set by themselves. Whether it is a word, a phrase or a song title, these chapters are an attempt for both of them to approach the question of “where do we belong.” The project is not only a mean for them to reveal their emotion through photographic medium, but also a journey for them to learn about themselves amid the diasporic experience. Ultimately, it is a process for them to find an answer to the question: Where Do We Belong.
