This catalogue is published to accompany anothermountainman's solo exhibition 'Lanwei' at Blindspot Gallery and Blindspot Annex, Hong Kong, from 7 October - 11 November 2012.
'Taken over the course of six years (2006-2012), the project started in major Mainland Chinese cities but soon extended to other cities in Asia including Taipei, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and Singapore. The large format photographs depict scenes of hundreds of construction projects left aborted due to the bursting of economic bubbles in the previous decade. The images do not reflect solely the issues found in the economic downturns. They also capture the failures in other aspects of people's lives.' (from press release)
Includes artist statement and biography.
