Traces is an ongoing photographic project focusing mainly on the urban environment and, more particularly, on the traces left by the passage of time and the consequent transformations in Chinese culture, heritage and society…. A look at this world gleaned from walks, encounters, and simply from reflections on what this country tells us about the changes in our time.
This long-term photographic work evokes the final moments of neighbourhoods prior to their destruction or transformation, the changes in lifestyle, and the place of the old and new generations in emptying villages… It poses the question of the future of a society in the face of galloping development.
