Aside·Qinghai

Qinghai·China

这组图片拍摄于青海西南部

沿着柴达木盆地探索过去

有荒废的军事基地

也有败落的石油小镇

人生留下的印记在这里层层堆叠

这些荒废已久的建筑

像信标一般停留在澎湃的山野里

枯中有万物

残缺本身自有其强烈的美感

空间假如可以折叠

我想将这些

废墟重新拼接起来

以展现出它美好的诗意

This set of pictures was taken in the southwest of Qinghai, China, and there were abandoned military bases and ruined oil towns exploring along the Qaidam Basin. The traces left by time and life were stacked here, and these long-abandoned buildings were like beacons in the surging wilderness. Actually, the incompleteness itself had its own strong sense of beauty. If the space can be folded, I wanted to rejoin these remains to show their beautiful and humble charms.

这组图片拍摄于海晏县西海镇

These pictures were taken in Xihai Town, Haiyan County

which used to be a military base in the mid-1960s.

这组图片拍摄于冷湖镇

它位于柴达木盆地西北，阿尔金山之南

往西是新疆罗布泊，往北则可到达甘肃敦煌

是一片高寒荒漠地带

这里曾经因为富产石油而辉煌

随着资源枯竭

原本兴盛的城镇逐渐败落

戈壁中的黄沙重新漫过这座荒废的城池

This set of pictures was taken in Lenghu Town, which was located in the northwest of Qaidam Basin, south of Altun Mountain. To the west, it was Lop Nur, Xinjiang, and to the north, it could reach Dunhuang, Gansu. It was an alpine desert area. And it used to be a dazzling center because of its rich oil production. With the exhaustion of resources, the originally prosperous town gradually fell into decline. After people left the empty building, the yellow sand in the Gobi once again flooded this deserted town.

这组图片拍摄于公路服务区

简陋的板房也随着城镇的衰败

被人弃于荒野

在过去最繁忙的时候

铁皮房是方圆几百公里内唯一的杂货店

这里是长途货车司机休息和补给的地方

This group of pictures was taken in the highway service area, and the simple prefab houses were also abandoned in the wilderness with the decline of the town. At the busiest time in the past, the Tin House was the only grocery store within a radius of a few hundred kilometers, next to a humble little restaurant, where long-distance truck drivers rested and got supplied.

这组图片拍摄于石油基地遗址

七十多年之前，这里曾经是无人区

后来在这里发现石油资源之后

曾经有数万人在这片土地生活过

石油枯竭之后，住户们搬离了这里

This group of pictures was taken at the site of the oil base. More than 70 years ago, this was a no-man's land. Later, after oil resources were discovered here, thousands of oil workers came here with tens of thousands of people living in this land. After the oil dried up, the residents moved out this area.
