Totems: through the lens of Alain Delorme, a glimpse into contemporary China

Alain Delorme’s captivating photo series “Totems” offers a unique perspective on contemporary China. Through his lens, we witness the bustling metropolis of Shanghai, not from the vantage point of gleaming skyscrapers, but from the ground level alongside the city’s backbone – its everyday workers. Delorme’s subjects are not executives or celebrities, but the anonymous individuals who shoulder the heavy burdens of China’s economic boom.

Delorme’s photographs move beyond mere documentation. By incorporating vivid colors and creative editing techniques, he imbues his images with a sense of paradox. The vibrant hues highlight the frenetic energy of modern China, while the carefully composed frames draw attention to the often-overlooked realities of daily life. Delorme’s work compels us to confront the complexities of China’s transformation, a nation where immense growth coexists with the struggles of ordinary people.

This glimpse into contemporary China, captured through Delorme’s lens, invites us to ponder the human cost of progress. His photographs serve as a powerful reminder of the individuals who fuel China’s economic engine, and the importance of acknowledging their contributions in the face of a rapidly changing landscape.
