flat-pack (shenyang & chengdu)
China's economic development relies on the wealth of the urban population and an aspirational attitude toward consumerism. This series looks at the remodeling of two Chinese city centers into hubs of commerce. There are two different parts to this project, presented as diptychs. The first part is made up of vivid, colorful photos that peek through the rubble of the construction sites, mixing a bright consumerist aesthetic with the messy reality of the construction and demolition taking place. The second part is the street views which show the limbo-type place that people have to negotiate during this upheaval to their homes, workplace and way of life.
This project captures a significant moment of change for these cities and their inhabitants.
