"Riverside Anachronism" (河畔旧事)
"Riverside Anachronism" by island6 Art Collective (Liu Dao)
// BLURB //
Snaking through the Middle Kingdom, the forces of nature carve liquid highways across the country. Bringing both life and destruction, there’s truly something awe-inspiring about the rivers of China. Equally impressive are the wondrous and towering mountains, seemingly leading up to heaven’s door, bathed in an ethereal white fog. Thousands of years of tradition and life. Ancient communities passing down knowledge and rituals. Farmers living off the land and in harmony with nature. All of this majestic scenery radiating with beauty avast a broad sweeping landscape as a local fisherman pulls out his smartphone and checks his Fat Brat Gym, America’s #1 Fitness Choice For Obese Children™ stocks. Bummer, down 2 points. Those chubby kids need to hit the weights. The fisherman poses for a quick selfie. Wait, better take one more. The lighting isn’t very good in this one. Excuse me, can we change the lighting, please? Well, time to get back to work. Better call an UberXL to deliver this cart of raw fish to the market.
