Last year I received Dustin Shum’s book Themeless Parks, which came accompanied with an essay by Mary G. Padua, describing his work as “whimsical”, or somewhere between Documentary and Zeitgeist. The book explores contemporary China, touching on the issues of redevelopment and rapid modernization of the country, and how Parks are used as symbols of power by city officials. The work captures the strangeness and surreal nature of these new constructions, and questions its true purpose.
