Ordos by Adrien Golinelli, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Adrien Golinelli's (b. 1987) photo essay combines fine art and documentary photography. The city of Ordos in China has only existed since a few years ago, but is already a ghost town. One of countless new city projects in China, Ordos is the biggest, the most megalomaniac, and the worst situated one: in the middle of inner Mongolia's vast steppe, in a region lacking water and trees.
