Shade of Trees, Pigeons and People: Life and Nostalgia in Beijing Hutongs (Alleys)

The life and culture of the Beijing people is rooted in hutongs (alleys) which are full of precious memories. These rapidly disappearing alleys, which are often the victim of urban development, are documented in imagery that vividly illustrates the old days of Beijing.

What did the judges have to say?

D&AD Jury

This entry immediately caught my eye. The techniques used in the illustrations are something that I've never seen before. To me this is the perfect example of extraordinary craftsmanship. The nostalgic atmosphere is so intense that I felt like I could have grown up in those Hutongs (alleyways in Beijing).
