798 is the old bomb & ammunition factory area turned into an art district. Although it stills hosts some nice galleries and museum (UCCA) it’s really commercial nowadays. I was passing by this morning and found out it’s also very popular with newly weds for taking bridal pictures.

They call it ‘walking your bird’ (forgot the chinese name). I’ve seen men before bringing their birds to an outdoor game of checkers but I’ve never seen them hang on trees in a group.

My residency in the Three Shadows Photography Art Centre is also made possible by Stroom The Hague
