Description
Instant Hutong is a project started in 2006 that explores the borderline case of Hutong districts in old downtown Beijing threat by development. The project is intended as a series of installations and events on the border between art, social investigation and urban research to screen the uniqueness of a urban tissue made of lanes and courtyard houses and the community of people living in it. The work involved questions such density, unstructured reappropriation, gentrification, relationship between people and their physical space, property speculation, disappearing community and identity.
