Analog Images of Ordinary Life in China’s Disappearing Urban Villages
Urban villages in China have been an integral part of the country’s urbanization process, with many of them emerging as a result of the rapid urbanization that has taken place in recent years. These urban villages are densely populated areas with a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial buildings, which often lack the basic amenities and infrastructure found in the rest of the city.
Photographer Dominique Musorrafiti captures the analog images of ordinary life in some Chinese urban villages in Kunming using a Lubitel 166+ camera and Lucky 120 SHD film. The photographs depict scenes of daily life, including people working, children playing, and families spending time together.
These images offer a glimpse into a way of life that is rapidly disappearing as urbanization continues to transform China. As the country continues to develop, many of these urban villages are being demolished to make way for new high-rise buildings and commercial developments. Witnessing these realities is essential to understanding the impact of urbanization on people’s lives and the communities that they are a part of.
