Sun Ji creates architectural collages and construed grandiose scenes of abandoned buildings of urban transformation, industrial plants, and storage facilities. Carefully interweaving portraits of buildings before their demise, he extends their existence and creates an illusion of three-dimensionality. Contrast to China’s own demolition in the pursuit of progression and modernization, Sun Ji is able to achieve the same effect by layering, stacking and integrating the obsolete instead of destroying it.
