Yao Lu - Viewing the City's Places of Interest in Springtime

Chinese artist Yao Lu's pictures of traditional Chinese landscapes, mountains shrouded in mist, are created by digitally manipulating photographs of mounds of rubbish. His work lying somewhere between painting and photography, expresses the changes affecting the environment in China as it undergoes rampant urbanization and faces numerous ecological threats.
