This week’s photo theme is Reddish Heavens: a smear of red/orange/pink hue muddling the horizon, real or imagined…
Today’s image comes from netizen 手指断了 a (“Broken Finger a”), whose gritty cyberpunk re-imaginings of near-future Chinese megalopoli have become a running obsession of ours. While 手指断了’s oeuvre veers between various sci-fi and fantasy realms (he has an inspired series of Blade Runner 2049 fan art that’s well worth a look), this rendering of a hi-tech/lo-life Chongqing skyline from a dreary, not-too-distant tomorrow is one of the standout images.
We’ll select another cut from手指断了’s headspace later in the week, but in the mean time, peruse more of their work here.
