Bas Princen 巴斯．普林森
Reservoir Series—Valley (Jing'an) 水庫──山谷（靜安）
2007
This photograph depicts Shanghai high-rises emerging from an artificial rock formation, the concrete-and-glass structures both complementing and contrasting with the stone. The rocky forms were constructed to resemble grottoes and the depictions of landscapes in classical Chinese ink painting. Trained as a designer, Bas Princen uses the camera as a tool to investigate spatial phenomena. His work blends elements together in images that collapse objects and contexts or create ambiguity between the natural and the artificial. He focuses primarily on buildings, landscapes, and infrastructure, often depicting humans’ impact on territories, whether through construction, demolition, or appropriation.
