This is a continuation of the post from 10 October 2010.
And to continue with my visit to the 798 Arts Zone…
I visited some of the same galleries as I did years ago, but of course the art works were different now.
That artist had a whole series of blurry grey works that didn’t do much for me.
Here’s one that I did like. A massive warplane is surrounded by a mass of celebrating people. Not too hard to decipher the social message there.
Some of the old buildings have been modernized more than I remember.
Here’s a courtyard that had a lot going on:
There are also some reminders of the area’s industrial heritage.
When I visited before, I saw groups of photographers posing a model in various places. Some of that was going on, but it seems the area is very popular for wedding photos.
Notice the photographer’s assistant and how she’s holding him in place. Nice.
A little further along was something really interesting…
A giant robot made of parts of cars. It had a Transformer logo on its chest, though I’d be willing to be it’s not an officially licensed product.
This photographer had a whole series of staged scenes, all done with real models and props but depicting unusual or fantastic scenes.
And I’ll finish off with another outdoor installation. Are you the leader or the follower?
