Brilliant City
D-Fuse

D-Fuse_Brilliant_City.jpg

Contemporary Shanghai is undergoing profound transformations - changes in the economy, influx of multinational companies and people - continuous transformation of the city's space. D-Fuse spent 10 days collecting audio + visual material and conveying the overwhelming mass of sensations and impressions to create this piece. The video has been shot from a single spot at a cluster of residential high-rises, named Brilliant City, in the northern part of Shanghai.

Supported by Arts Council of England and British Council Shanghai. Brilliant City was developed by D-Fuse [video], Matthias Kispert + Ken Luo [audio].
