Welcome to Shanghai, brave tourists
At the moment (2011) Manel Clemente is working on a creative photographic project, “World souvenir” . The artist is conducting anthropological research about urban and cultural tourism around the world. He has already visited most of the European capitals, New York, Beijing, Tokyo, Shanghai... His pictures try to analyse our obsession with travelling, sometimes humorously and ironically. These pictures were taken at the Oriental Pearl TV Tower in Shanghai in July 2011 and show tourists taking souvenir photos.
