Nanjing Road, Shanghai - November 2016

I first went to Shanghai in November 1988 and spent 60% of the nineties in China, based mostly in Shanghai.

 

A SLOW video beginning at the Seventh Heaven Hotel where I stayed many times during my early visits. It was owned by the Shanghai Governments Radio and TV bureau and is now what could be called a listed building because  years ago it was the tallest building in the city.

When I lived in Shanghai the street was a seething noisy mass of people, taxis,  motorbikes and bicycles. Now it is pedestrianised, calm, and as you will see, it also has an Apple store.

 

Hi Contrast and slo-mo……..  Wonderfully surreal……. The people become……..Art?
