Zheijang is one of the most industrial areas of China and at the same time one of the richest in natural parks, forests and lakes. For the last few decades there has been growing industrialization, and the development of shopping centers, hotels and suburbs to accommodate a new rich. The area is under continuous construction, changing its green landscape into rows of concrete. Behind all these changes stands the working man whose situation reminds the same.My video work The Grey Bricks is a story about rapidly changing land and the people who make that change possible. Local people, two friends, who run a small factory with their families and who have lived in area for a very long time, mainly because of household registration system, which makes relocating very difficult in China. Every day they work long hours making a grey bricks.
