從紐約到北京,一群攝影愛好者企圖尋找末日後的世界。
攝影師 Lucie 與 Simon 為了製造孤獨的感覺因此僅在照片中留下1~2人。

From New York City to Beijing, a team of artists are shedding light on what the world would be like at the end of humanity.

In the thought-provoking work, places like the normally bustling Times Square and Tiananmen Square appear absent of their crowds.
