A Cinderella-esque skyline
In Guangzhou city centre, along the banks of the Pearl River, after dusk, light displays bring buildings and bridges to life. During the day, the contours of the hotels, apartment buildings and offices that line the river are smudged into forgettable oblivion by the greyish humid, smog-filled air.

And then, as soon as darkness has fallen, they’re dolled up with colourful neon or LED-lights and screens. Vying for attention like assertive wallflowers at a school ball, mindless yet mesmerizing animations, shapes, colour-shifts, often spanning the whole facade, turn them into the belles of the ball. Only to be turned back into black shadows again as the clock strikes 10 pm.
