Appreciation towards Catherine Hyland for providing the following description:

来自摄影师Catherine Hyland 的作品，他到访中国许多地方，拍摄了很多有意思的中国影像，这是其中的“仙境”系列。

“仙境”项目于1998年启动，但是开发商和当地农民土地协议问题未能妥善解决，于是主题公园在兴建一部分之后进入烂尾状态。现在“仙境”中的土地被重新种上了玉米。这个规划面积超过120亩的项目希望建立亚洲最大的主题公园，但现在却成一个介于真实和梦幻之间的“仙境”，是当地一个至今也不能消解和操纵的突兀，“仙境”就这样以超现实的永恒感存在着。

Wonderland Series

Wonderland is an abandoned structure left over after funding was cut on another of China’s legion of newly developed tourist attractions. The project first began in 1998 but with developers and local farmers still unable to reach an agreement over the rights of the land, the discarded structures of the half built theme park have remained dispersed and vacant throughout empty cornfields for over a decade. The aim of the Wonderland developers was to create the biggest theme park in Asia, set to cover 120 acres of land. Adopted by the locals, these dilapidated skeletons now exist as unconventional playgrounds within the town. Concrete objects that somehow become more remarkable due to the ever-present option of a direct comparison, between reality and representation.

Trapped in limbo, a hybrid space between the ‘real’ and the artificial, this environment induces a sense of transformation or manipulation that appears to permeate and displace the realm of fantasy. Tamed by the locals, the uncompleted remnants of Wonderland become the antithesis of everything it was supposed to be, its value altered permanently.
