Interior designer and photographer Sacha Yasumoto spent time during the pandemic exploring abandoned structures in Hong Kong, France and Italy. Images of these once cherished places – peeling paint, forgotten furniture, and tableaux frozen in time – are exhibited at Asia Society Hong Kong Center until December 18, and immortalised in an accompanying book, LovedThenAbandoned.

The exhibition also features a piece of original music composed to complement the photographs, and a specially created scent to complete the sensory experience.
