| Summary: | "For more then twenty years, tons and tons of metallic and electronic waste from all around the world has been transported to a Chinese town called Fengjang, in the south of Shanghai.

As the recognizable heaps of metal continue to pile up they provide a deeply moving image of a worldwide consumer society"--Container. |
