Demolition before (re)construction in Chinese cities (2000 —2007)
Beijing and Shanghai have undergone several waves of construction and reconstruction, until they became today’s metropolises. What I witnessed during and after a long term stay in Beijing, I captured in a series of paintings and several graphic novels: Domweg dapper (based on a novel by Bei Dao 2003), Steenstof (Stone Dust 2003), Huishulp (2007), Het graf van de keizer and The Emperor’s Tomb (2008) (contact me to order a copy).
