LOST IN THE CONCRETE JUNGLE
The economic and social changes are transforming our cities and our traditional way of life. Economic globalization, cultural homogenization, technological and scientific progress, environmental risks, etc., are not neutral and isolated phenomena, they have social, economic and political, local and global consecuences and in turn raise new needs and dilemmas.
The photographs that Chin Yee has selected for Lost In The Concrete Jungle attempt to show this and other implications of urbanization; as our surroundings become increasinly urbanized, we are exposed to the risk of turing into isolated, faceless subjects trapped in mazes of ultra-planned physical and social realities.
Chin-Yee Wong is an urbanist working in the field of sustainable urban development. An avid photographer, capturing urban dynamics and the interaction between people and spaces became his love and medium of expression. His constant search for diverse and vibrant urbanism has brought him and his cameras to disparate corners in Asia and Latin America.
