游走中国 – 城市系列

中国女性与超大型城市
这个项目将焦点锁定在中国的女性与超大型城市之间的关系，按照如下三个阶段进行：
去当地取景
第一阶段主要在广州、香港、上海、成都和北京取景，在每个城市都会与十几位不同年龄层、不同职业背景的女性会面，与她们深入交流，了解这些女性对当下一些新生活方式的感受，她们如何在大城市里立足，从而找到自己的位置。
我在项目进行过程中发现，几乎所有的城市居民都或多或少有农村出身或背景， 他们其中有些人的父母至今仍然住在偏远的农村。我去中国的西南边缘省份云南进行拍摄，亲眼目睹大城市与农村生活的巨大差距，这种对比异常鲜明，极富表现力，有时令人捉摸不定，却更加丰富了我的项目素材。
我会跟我选取的一些女性相约，跟她们一起漫步在她们熟悉的城市街道上或者大自然环境里，给她们拍照、录影，或者记录下我们边走边聊起的话题。
WATCHMAKING: THE PIONEERS
China Driftings echoes the feat of 19th century Neuchatel watchmakers, who went by boat to Canton to develop their business of making precious watches in China. After having been tremendously successful, they returned to Switzerland to propose watches designed by the Chinese. The watchmaker Edouard Bovet (1797 -1849) is the most outstanding representative of this adventure. The Maison Bovet still exists today.
CONTEMPORARY CHINESE ART: THE INSPIRATION OF ULI SIGG
Following a brilliant career as a businessman in China with the concept of joint-venture, Uli Sigg became the Swiss Ambassador to China in Beijing. He is one of the first Europeans to extensively collect the works of contemporary Chinese artists. To house his immense collection, he has entrusted Herzog & de Meuron, architects, with the design of his museum, which is scheduled to open in Hong Kong in the very near future.
