1927192997China: primarily 1927-31. A summer of devastation A visual record of an eventful period in East Asia in which four photographs of Wuhu show houses half underwater while fourteen of Hankou capture the extent of the disaster and daily life at high water including a Chinese air mail seaplane landing on the floodwaters. The product of a summer of intense rainfall the 1931 floods were among the worst natural disasters of the 20th century. In Hankou the Yangtse burst through the city's protective dyke on 1 August submerging an area the size of England and killing tens of thousands. The waters reached a level of 16 metres above the seasonal average smashing all previous records. Printed on two sheets of thin paper the edition of the Hankow Herald dates from a month after the city's flood defences gave way. It reports on urgent efforts to support refugees including the reaching of an agreement with local shipping companies to transport the displaced down the river and the efforts of the relief committee. A box at the head of the first page gives the watermarks for the day before and the drop in the level of the receding floodwaters. The subject matter and captions imply that the serviceman was posted to Royal Navy vessels - HMS Widgeon and HMS Cockchafer - patrolling the Yangtse and undertaking anti-piracy operations. The collection comprises vernacular shots of Shanghai including fine vistas from the roof of the Union Jack Club Shasi stretches of the river and Changsha and Hankou during winter. In two flames from a burning American Oil Company ship at Hankou climb into the sky. Several images - mostly vernacular - are dated October 1927 and relate to SS Irene a merchant ship captured and sunk by pirates near Bias Bay that month.

103603Zürich Paranoia City 1990. 4° 65 S. zahlr. Abb. Brosch. Tadellos. Am 22. April 1989 besetzten zehntausende Studierende im Zuge der offiziellen Trauerfeier den Tiananmen-Platz „Platz des himmlischen Friedens“. Sie protestierten gegen das Regime und forderten mehr Demokratie und Rechtsstaatlichkeit.Die Proteste weiteten sich aus – auch auf andere Städte. Mitte Mai demonstrierten mehr als 1 Mio. Menschen auf dem Platz. Die Regierung geriet unter Zugzwang und rief am 20.5. das Kriegsrecht aus.In der Nacht auf den 4.6. rückte das Militär – die Volksbefreiungsarmee – mit Panzern gegen die Demonstrierenden vor und eröffnete das Feuer.Eine genaue Rekonstruktion der Ereignisse ist schwierig. Amnesty International geht von bis zu 3.000 Opfern aus die chinesische Regierung spricht von etwa 300 Toten.Bis heute wird das öffentliche Gedenken an das Massaker unterbunden. Proteste auf dem Platz des himmlischen Friedens und Meldungen über das Massaker werden verhindert.Trotz Einschüchterung setzen sich u.a. die „Tiananmen-Mütter“ weiter für eine Aufarbeitung ein. 010 Zürich, Paranoia City, 1990 unknown
