Places
Guangzhou Photo Biennial 2005
The series "Places" from Shanghai photographer Zhu Hao has for subject matter the city places we use daily. Concentrated colours and a meticulous description give these urban spaces a visual charm filled with life. Although lacking human figures, the marks of man fixed on film, whether they are advertising images, graffiti or scrapped objects, reveal human aspirations, illusions and creativity. Zhu Hao's eye makes it possible for these objects to show the reasons of their existence and their objective importance.
