Yao Songxin is an independent photographer, residing and working in Shanghai, who carried hi camera in the nights of the metropolis to undertake "Shanghai at night". His images do not testify to an intimacy of the photographer with the city but, quite to the contrary, to a certain distance. Yao Songxin seeks in the night the places that disappear with the day and tries to give them back to urban life. At night, the city, shows even less authenticity; it appears fuzzy and false, thus reinforcing the impression of emptiness which one feels once returned to the day light. This is not a piece of documentary work but the reflect of a personal point of view, expressing distance, loss of reference mark and uncertainty.
