29 Jul Shocking Photoseries Shows What It’s Like To Live Inside Hong Kong’s ‘Coffin Cubicles’

Hong Kong is home to some of the most exorbitant house prices in the world.

Because of this, space is a commodity reserved largely for the super rich, a luxury not many can afford. It is thought that Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated areas in the world, but with precious little land remaining suitable for development, how are its residents finding enough room to live?

Benny Lam has been documenting this, by photographing Hong Kong’s so called “coffin cubicles” in a photographic series entitled Trapped. Here are some of the astonishing pictures.

1. Cramped conditions are a given

2. The United Nations has described the dwellings as an “insult to human dignity”

3. It is hard not to feel claustrophobic just looking at the images

4. Storage solutions are vital

5. It seems astonishing that people are able to live in such cramped conditions
