In his series Neon Tigers, Bialobrzeski takes his own, very individual view of Asia’s fast-growing economic centres, above all Hong Kong, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Bangkok. presenting his cities as ultra-modern utopias (or dystopias) which recall the sprawling sets of modern sci-fi movies such as “Blade Runner.”
Bialobrzeski makes these futuristic works, which he describes as "quotations from reality," using conventional means – a large-format, analogue camera loaded with film.
