Reveries, Guangzhou China 2018,
Excerpts from Serge J-F Levy’s essay
A viewer might experience a sense of a society that is so hurried, it can neither catch up to itself nor reflect upon what could be lost, an experience that no developing country can avoid in its race to become a superpower.
….
A pivotal time in Chinese history when tradition physically and metaphorically mingles with modernity. His photos gives us the opportunity to study this moment carefully, to revisit it, and to try and figure out what is happening. This book is an opportunity to contemplate what may be lost and to imagine what might be gained. And Reveries is a reminder that if you close your eyes for too long, the world may never look like what you once remembered it to be.
