“Morning light falls, but the bed remembers the night.”
Lonely in Hong Kong II feels like a melancholic sigh exhaled into the vast anonymity of a foreign city. Thomas Haensgen captures a moment of solitude that teeters on the edge of intimacy. A lone figure, seated on a rumpled bed, is illuminated by the diffuse glow of a city that seems both near and impossibly distant.
The composition evokes the voyeuristic loneliness found in the works of Nan Goldin, yet refrains from her raw explosiveness. Instead, Haensgen’s lens quietly observes the tension between chaos and stillness. The scattered clothes, the half-open bag, and the bedside phone suggest a narrative unfolding just beyond the frame—a story incomplete, like a love letter interrupted mid-sentence.
This photograph resonates with universal truths about human vulnerability and the search for connection in transient spaces. It’s the kind of moment we all recognize but rarely admit: sitting in a hotel room at dawn, contemplating the strangeness of our own existence, as if the view outside could answer unspoken questions. Haensgen invites us into this liminal space, a delicate balance between intimacy and distance, between being and becoming.
