Beijing. Fall 2001 Gouache/paper 55 x 65 cm.
China undergoes a wild urbanization. Traditional buildings are
demolished one after another. You just can't start to imagine the
amplitude of the disaster if you did not see it for yourself.
It's not only one building after another that they put down, it's one
block after another that disappears to make way for ugly concrete boxes
where people will be living as chicken in their batteries.
The Chinese, all around their country, are creating for themselves a
concrete jungle inferno. The awakening, one or two
generations
later, shall be rude. But nobody shall be called to account for this
stupidity...
