Manufactured Totems
Alain Delorme's Shanghai Photos
Looking very much like photo-realistic paintings, these are actually photographs from the brilliantly talented Parisian, Alain Delorme… whether these are elegantly photoshopped or have been rather impressively staged, they are certainly fascinating.
Evolving from the photographer’s fascination with Chinese workers and their uneasily stacked delivery bikes, this amazing collection of images from Shanghai, entitled “Manufactured Totems" is currently showing at Paris’ Magda Danysz gallery.
It reminds us of the very creative stacking of delivery bikes in HCMC and their uncanny ability to balance of their bizarre burdens with dexterity.
