Creative Shanghai: A Photo Essay

The important of the creative industries to economic growth is a rhetoric that has also been part of the immense dirigiste of Shanghai’s velocious growth. And like the ‘creative scene’ in any other global or megacity, the proliferation of a vibrant creative economy (paralleled with the increased mediation of the city) is predicated upon a vibrant subcultural milieu. This photo essay is the result of a psychogeographical dérive around the city, in an attempt to capture Shanghai’s creative milieu and the congenital urban mediation, but to also to gaze in voyeuristic (perhaps even Orientalist) pleasure at the vibrancy, complexity and rapidity of the city.

The 5.5-meter-high walkway can fit 15 people walking side by side and has become a fantastic tourist destination since its completion, which provoked photographer Viktor Lakics to go get a better glimpse. (Knstrct)
