I decided to visit one of the biggest cities in the world.
My choice brought me to the land of the rising sun, and Shanghai drew my attention right away. I immidiately felt like an outsider in between those thousands and even millions of people.
A place where I didn’t speak the language, where I didn’t know the right directions.
Where I was literally lost in translation. I felt like I was walking in a place that’s emerging way too fast, a kind of model world, a world that is somehow fake. Even mankind as a powerful being falls apart in those enormous surroundings.
I attempted to capture both the contradictions of this bustling metropolis and, conversely, the sense of isolation I experienced as a total outsider.
