CHONGQING TV
China, Chongqing, 2005

Chongqing TV are producing an ident for their station. On the side of a motorway beside the Jialing river, overlooking the breathtaking panorama of Jiefangbei and Chaotianmen on the other riverbank, a group of fresh-faced teenagers are lip-syncing to the angelic voices of Chongqing TV’s theme tune. A few hundred metres to the other side, there is a wasteland of demolished buildings with people dotted around picking bricks from the rubble for reuse. This area is about to be flooded by the raised water levels caused by the Three Gorges Dam. Recorded for the D-Fuse project Undercurrent.
