The following images were sourced over the years from a recycling zone in the outskirts of Beijing. We scanned more than half a million 35mm color film negatives. Those negatives build up a portrait of the capital city and the life of her inhabitants over the last thirty years. Here, we selected 3000 photos to create the animation you are about to see.

Reizwäsche

Reizwäsche

  • Viktor Stickel / Jelena Walf
  • Germany, 2012

Petja and Pasha sit impatiently as aunt Mascha
hangs her laundry to dry. The two rascals follow her
impudently, clothes pin for clothes pin, her massive
butt progressing down the line. They grin peevishly -
finally! Their object of desire! They passionately
watch as Mascha's oversized underpants spread out
before them, a silver screen of giant proportions!
They take out their projector. Time for a movie!

Tram

Tram

  • Michaela Pavlátová
  • France / Czech Republic, 2012
  • 8 min.

It’s the humdrum daily routine for Tram’s conductress. As every morning, men get on the tram to go to work, one after another, all similar, quiet, grey, apathetic. And yet, on that day, following the jolts and the road’s vibrations, to the rhythm of the tickets inserted in the ticket-stamping machine, the conductress gets turned on and the vehicle gets erotic. The tram conductress’ desire turns the reality into a surrealistic and phallic fantasy. She then takes a ride on the passengers’ giant and blushing penises. Music maestro !
