Always only a stone’s throw away from one another, manhole covers in Hong Kong are as ubiquitous as convenience stores. For the past six years, this seemingly unremarkable yet indispensable part of public facilities has been a fascinating object of study for the 19-year-old visual arts student Monster Kwok. Her obsession goes beyond snapping thousands of photos and designing t-shirts with manhole covers printed on them, on her right arm is also a manhole cover-inspired monster tattoo.
The Central and Western District, one of the earliest developed areas in the colonial era, is home to the increasingly rare manhole covers manufactured by British foundries. Kwok is still amazed by the red manhole covers and fire hydrants outside Admiralty Centre. Lined up in a neat row, the hatches are so well-preserved that the paint job looks as good as new. “Red manhole covers indicate that the pipe carries potable water, yellow signals salt water and blue means the pipe is suspended for repair. All manhole covers near fire hydrants were engraved with ‘FH’ that stands for fire hydrant.”
