About pp

pinkpulse is a Spatial Documentary Publishing and spatial lab that produces spatial documentary dossiers. Each dossier is filmed on location using stereoscopic 180° video and spatial audio to preserve atmosphere, rhythm, and cultural presence as they are lived.

pp works with communities, practitioners, and institutions to document environments where memory, ritual, and everyday practices intersect. The focus is on authored presence rather than spectacle, creating a long-term cultural resource for spatial media.

About the Founder

pp is led by Oliver Schulte, a German new media artist and researcher with long-term experience in spatial documentary and cultural memory. His work spans collaborations with museums, universities, and public institutions across Asia and Europe.

Based in Hong Kong, he develops fieldwork-based methodologies for spatial heritage, with a focus on embodied perception, place-specific archives, and respectful collaboration with communities.

Current Dossier

Dossier 02 — Trails of Hong Kong (2026)

Hong Kong protected much of its land as wilderness in the 1970s. As the 50-year milestone approaches, the city’s trail system holds cultural memory shaped by migration, labour, and everyday urban–mountain life.

pp documents selected routes with community stewards and long-term practitioners — focusing on lived practices rather than promotional views.
