If you look closely at the decaying buildings photographed by Chinese artist Jiang Pengyi, you will see a miniaturized dystopian landscape of skyscrapers amongst the rubble. Created using photographs of the city, from small rooms to massive skyscrapers, Pengyi uses his works to communicate “recurrent themes of excessive urbanization, redevelopment and demolition in the Beijing city.” See more at blindspotgallery.com.
