Author: Cyrus Cornut
In this title, Cyrus Cornut used a 4x5 chamber to photograph the Chinese city of Chongqing, which is undergoing one of the world's highest demographic and economic growth rates. The city is also known as the 'capital of fog': natural mist and endemic pollution has accompanied its rapid development. The photographer and architect takes a contemplative look at a city that is attentive to the explosion of urban landscape in Asia.'He also lingered on the residents, who provide the human scale, and particularly on former farmers who are resisting by appropriating the tiniest cracks to cultivate their vegetables, who continue to fish or swim in the waters of the Yangzi or its tributary the Jialing, as though nothing were amiss. His images perfectly describe the ambiguities of the modern world and the glut of limitless economic development,' as Sylvie Hugues underlines in her essay, without imposing a particular message or politic view. These urban photographs, with a subtle chromatic palette, bring out both a silent resilience as well as a melancholy from this state of in-between worlds.
