Research; Sze Tsung Leong

His work includes the series -
Cities, a detailed representation of urban formations throughout the globe, from medieval towns to recent constructions, that together form a picture of the world at this particular moment in time.
Horizons, an international collection of images of natural terrains and urban landscapes that considers the relationships between far and near, foreign and familiar
and
History Images, which examines the erasure of history and the reshaping of society through the built environment.



This idea of 'waste' always seems to firstly make me think of rubbish and this idea of throwing away and the decomposition of things.
However, these images by Sze Tsung Leong, also represents this with these buildings..


These buildings and streets, show the decomposition and no longer use of these buildings.
These areas look like a waste dumping site. It seems a shame and a waste of history, that these buildings have not been well kept and restored, as these areas were probably once, quite beautiful.
