Urban Fictions by Richard Rowland
“Urban Fictions is a photographic and video project funded by Arts Council England, examining the emergence of simulated urban developments in eastern China.
These idealised reconstructions appear as hyperreal utopias that seek to create rather than reflect historical reality; illusory spaces connecting to the broader national narrative of modern-day China – one of consumerism, spectacle and economic expansion.”
A really really really cool set...photos. Highly recommended.
Let’s play a game. It’s called Identify What Makes This a Bullshit Artist Statement.
