Photographer Benny Lam has documented the suffocating living conditions in Hong Kong’s subdivided flats, recording the lives of these hidden communities
These small, wooden boxes of 15 sq ft, are known as ‘coffin cubicles’
A 400 sq ft flat can be subdivided to accommodate nearly 20 double-decker sealed bed spaces.
The photographs highlight the reality of Hong Kong’s housing crisis, where tens of thousands of people live in these cramped conditions because they can’t afford anything else
