From press pack: Yao Lu’s images of lush mountainous vistas swamped in mist and surrounded by sea are not what they seem. The peaks rising from the water that dwarf the tiny speck-sized boats are
in fact gargantuan piles of rubbish and construction waste, by-products of China’s building development, shrouded in miles of green netting. Lu uses photography to both distort the truth and represent reality while also taking the viewer back in time to when the landscape was a fertile and untouched area.
