Monday, March 30th, 2009:: taken on Shimen Yi Rd. (near Wujiang Rd. intersection); a shop advertising sales promotions a day before its toppling. I can’t put my finger on what it is about these adverts that caught my eye. Perhaps their slapdash “dooms-day” presentation: dripping spray paint, shoddy red tissue paper, etc. Or maybe the surrounding scene of consumer excitement juxtaposed with the declarations of impending destruction. Not sure. Thoughts?
Also, this is not the first time I have seen an eye painted above a “chai” (拆) character in Shanghai, does anyone know if there is a back story behind this? // AjS
