Metamorpolis Photography Book Now Shipping

Damn. I must apologize to every single one of you. I ran a quick battlegrip.com search for the Metamorpolis book project and it turns out that I failed to share this when the project was open to funding and pre-orders. That is an inexcusable failure on my part because this book is too wonderful not to be seen.

Described as “The Rise of a Chinese Megacity,” Matamorpolis is a photography book by Tim Franco who covers the growth of the Chinese city of Chongqing. The project description caught my eye, but it was the photography and video that caught my support.

I expect to see the book in a month or so (it’s shipping from Europe), and once it arrives I am certain I’ll get lost in its pages and the scenes of a Chinese city growing so rapidly that it looks more like fantasy than reality.

The city of Chongqing, one of the biggest in central china, went through one of the fastest development process in the country. Tim Franco, a french photographer based in Shangaï, followed this crazy development from 2009. Now, he wants to publish a book, resulting from 5 years of photographic work about the city.
