Resembling ancient amphitheaters, this series of photographs by manuel alvarez diestro exposes the tightly packed cemeteries around hong-kong. the eerie images juxtapose the two parallel worlds of the living and
the dead, and the environments in which they must co-exist. overlooking
the city from different angles, the vertical structures in the

contrasting worlds.
