Pinholes of Shanghai

Shanghai Pekinese artist, Shi Guorui is a follower of the return to the roots, who uses the technique of the pinhole to photograph contemporary China. In his "Pinholes of Shanghai" the author turns in derision the high places representative of the modernism, like the Bund or the new districts of Pudong, which he transforms into landscapes of ruins, cultural vestiges of another time.
