Project / Urban Observation

People Beneath the City Wall

People Beneath the City Wall follows individual states in marginal urban spaces, preserving the tension between historical settings and present-day figures. Using the space beneath the city wall as a concrete clue, the project presents the collision between people and environment, and the juxtaposition of urban history with contemporary life.

Project Overview

The significance of this project is that it does not treat the city wall as a tourist landscape, but as part of real urban space, observing how people exist within it.

It therefore contains both the historical feeling of the environment and the present reality of its figures, making Liu Xiang's handling of people and specific urban space clearer.
