From stars to darkness

From stars to darkness refers to the famous “Per aspera ad astra” which means, that there is no easy way to the stars and enlightment. Turning the phrase upside down, this story draws a bow from the world of elite and deserted consumer cathedrals and capitalist icons in the asian megacity of Hongkong down to the grim, packed and dirty world of everyday life, that is common to the majority of the people in this crowded and highly intense metropolis.
