    HORIZON / This story is about the geometry of cities, the dimensions of their spatial and immaterial structure, the shape of their souls. It is the story I tell myself whilst being exploring Shanghai and its maze, whilst continuously playing with the focalization adjustment between the physical space and the spiritual place that are melted together in the urbanization continuum. We continuously perceive physical details of the space, by the glimpses of being travelers, citizens, flaneurs, nomads; we look up to the peaks of building, but our bodies move across, horizontally. We perceive cities by their altitude, but what we really see is at the level of the view, is the glimpse of the neighborhood that stills in front of us, is the shadow that stay longer when people come along with their carts. Looking up we perceive boundaries, looking horizontally we perceive inner motions: city lives horizontally, creatures and artifacts flows alongside and diverge at crossroads, when the horizon breaks the shadows.: by urijoe, Views[683]

    Graffiti advertises the services of local tradesman looking for work in Jing Jin, plastered on a transfer box that sits in the shadow of an abandoned high rise building in the middle of nowhere. The simple messages consist of a job description (eg. 'roof tiler') and a contact phone number. The desolate fields surrounding Jing Jin mirror the emptied ghost town of the city itself.: by mharding, Views[1000]
         		 The unlikely guardians of Jing Jin's thousands of deserted properties are teenage security guards, firm but polite in keeping visitors out of abandoned private property.

         		 Jing Jin is one of China's many recently developed eco cities. Despite developers' attempts to entice residents of neighbouring mining towns with promises of new educational facilities and a scientific research centre, the 104sq km sits abandoned and unused. : by mharding, Views[1050]

    At night the fields go quiet, its the handful of Shaxi restaurants that come alive with the hiss and sizzle of street cooking. The smell blankets the village luring you in for a feed, beer and attempt to have some interesting conversations with the locals.: by barryomahony, Views[371]
         		 The Sideng Friday market has been taking place since the Tang Dynasty (618 – 907) and was accessed via the Old Tea Horse Road. The Sideng square of Shaxi was added to the World Monuments Watch List of 100 Most Endangered Sites in 2001.

         		 Farmer guides his flock of geese over the cobble stones of the Yujin Bridge, an ancient bridge that is part of the 1000 year old traders Tea Horse Road which led from China through India, the Middle East and into Africa.
