    About the Book

    Edit

    The urbanization process of Pekin, initiated long before the 2008 Olympic Games, is pursuing its destruction work.

    Hutong, a maze of alleys some of which date back to the 13th century, serve the purpose of going around Siheyuan, traditional four-sided enclosed courtyard homes hidden behing their grey walls and Chinese-red doors.

    Sad and resigned, the people who live in these still standing places are witnessing their systematic demolition while waiting for the moment when the fatal Chai ideogram, painted in red on the wall of their own house, will proclaim their imminent evacuation…

    The first section of this photo book is dedicated to Hutong still standing. The government will rehabilitate some of these neighbourhoods and thus preserve a small part of Pekin’s memory.

    The second section is, unfortunately, a reflexion of what is still happening today :

    the "fade out"...



    Le processus d'urbanisation de Pékin commencé bien avant les Jeux Olympiques de 2008 continue son oeuvre de destruction.

    Les Hutong, dédales de ruelles dont les plus anciennes datent du XIIIe siècle sont les moyens d'accès aux Siheyuan, résidences traditionnelles à cours carrées cachées derrière leurs murs gris et leurs portes rouge Chine.

    Avec tristesse et résignation, les habitants de ces lieux qui subsistent encore, assistent à leur démolition systématique en attendant que l'idéogramme fatidique Chai peint en rouge sur le mur de leur propre demeure décide de leur évacuation prochaine...

    La première partie de ce livre de photos est consacrée aux Hutong encore debout.

    Le gouvernement va faire réhabiliter quelques uns de ces quartiers et ainsi conserver un peu de la mémoire de Pékin.

    La deuxième partie est malheureusement le reflet de ce qui ce passe aujourd'hui encore :

    l'effacement...
