The New Landscapes of Yao Lu (Phaidon)

"The Prix Pictet-shortlisted photographer's work brings to mind the Japanese master Hokusai - but look again!"


"At first glance these photographs by Chinese-born and Prix Pictet shortlisted photographer Yao Lu bring to mind the work of the Japanese artist Hokusai and the school of Ukiyo-e.

But look again and you'll realise they're not what they seem.

Yao's works are entirely man made. The shapes resembling oriental landscape paintings of waterfalls, cliffs and mountains are in fact landfills and mounds of derelict rubble draped in the green mesh used to prevent dust blowing away from building sites or that cover skips while they’re in transit."
