Thore Soneson Quotes (compiled by Thore Soneson) Lin Chi Wei |
traditional chinese two-stringed violin. The Erdu.
The songs windle away in the heat, slowly refreshing
and envigorating.
Machinegun sounds from a toy boat echoes over an artificial pond in a military memorial park.
A boy dressed in a dark hood move closer and closer to us, follws in our traces. A stalker.
We hide in a shopping mall and wait for him to disappear.
A modern shopping mall are cooled down with air-condition, young people in small
groups stroll around without buying. All dressed in western looking leisure wear.
A new flavour of ice-tea in green plastic bottles are marketed by a chinese hip- hop and rap
artist. Nearby, models dressed in a new clothes line wander on a catwalk, decorated with waving red flags.
The green lawns and trees are sprayed with fresh water. The bottled
water are the only drinkable water, sold everywhere for a chinese dollar.
Huge piles of packed hardpaper covers, boxes, wrappings. Large sacks filled with crushed
plastic bottles, plastic cups. Collected, resold to scrap dealers. Survival.
