The paper used by Italian based artist Danielle Del Nero to create small houses, was originally black. He then covered the models with flour and added some mold spores. Time finished the proces.
Del Nero wants to communicate about the sence of time and the destiny of our planet when all humans have been gone. The abandoned buildings are left, restless.

Just outside of Beijing China a themepark called 'Wonderland' was supposed to be as succesvol as Europe's Disneyland. Instead the project failed and the construction was put to a halt in 1998. 
Today though, the ruins of the abandoned dream of China are visited daily. Not by tourists but by the farmers whose land was chosen to be taken from to become a 'Wonderland'.

English Video artist and photographer Catherine Hyland made a video about 'Wonderland', 
showing us the attraction it is today.
