If Frank van der Salm's roots are in the New Topographics movement of the 1970s, then he has moved beyond its boundaries into urban landscape/architectural photography:
Frank van der Salm, Arcade, China, 2006
The interest appears to be the glossy surfaces of the non places modern metropolis that is open 24 hours per day---arcades transfer hubs, tollgates, station halls and metro corridors, agglomerations of flats.
Frank van der Salm, Panorama, China, 2004
What is disturbing is the way that these non places are disconnected from local life and become uniform, international, the same. A lot of time is spent in the arcade shopping and this consumer experience becomes a leisure activity away from home and work.
