Mobility in China : A Chinese View of 50 Years of Acceleration

As part of the Mobility in China : A Chinese View of 50 Years of Acceleration project, the Sinapolis research agency submitted a body of 82 photographs to Chinese citizens to elicit their perspectives on 50 years of mobility development. The respondents commented on five to nine photographs of their choice, which served as the starting point for a sociological interview. The ambivalent perception of the ongoing changes – ranging from enthusiasm to criticism of their brutality – inspired artist and videographer Wang Gongxin’s work Yi.
