簡介
"How do those rejected by society construct their own systems of meaning through myth, ritual, and unconventional intimacy?"
We Are the Things Monsters Love is a documentary portraiture project that fuses ancient Chinese shamanic traditions with Hong Kong's Voidpunk counterculture. Reimagining Qu Yuan's 3rd-century BCE Nine Deities as cyberpunk monsters, it explores how we can transmute the alien parts of our identities into sources of divine power.
When photographer Alex Huda arrived in Hong Kong, displacement took hold—until he crossed paths with Voidpunk, a community of LGBTQ+ individuals, neurodivergent minds, and creative outcasts forging non-human identities. What began as documentary became a living ceremony; Huda shed his own skin, created his Voidsona, and found a sanctuary of self-love.
Shot on analog medium format film and thermal camera, these co-authored portraits visualize the invisible energy flowing through the unchosen. This work invites us to look past the masks. Choosing to become a "monster" is not despair—it is a radical reclamation of power. Love and belonging are not prizes to be granted; they are energies cultivated from within.
