Unreal Estate: Tong Lam’s Photographs of China’s Unsettling Settlements
UC Berkeley Institute of East Asian Studies presents an exhibition featuring works of Tong Lam, visual artist and professor, University of Toronto
When:
September 16, 2013 9:00am to November 6, 2013 5:00pm
Tong Lam, Visual Artist and Professor, History, University of Toronto
From the Soviet era to today; from the Mongol frontier to modern Guangzhou, Tong Lam documents what society has built and abandoned. The stories behind these photographs tell of hope, ambition, greed, resistance, and visions that have been crushed or cast aside. Some stories are of gleaming structures hauntingly unpeopled; some stories are of teeming populations surviving amid the squalor of urban ruins. With the frenzy of China’s economic growth has come accelerated decay, leaving city and country alike scarred by the relics of past dreams.
