Documenting China’s U.S. Capitol-inspired buildings - a time capsule photography series by Hubei native Wú Guóyǒng. Extract: Although “the West” comprises many countries, for people of Wu’s generation, the artist believes the word implied one country above all else: Měiguó 美国 — the Beautiful Country, as the U.S.A. is known in Chinese. “We all thought about the U.S. Everything from the movies to music was feeding our collective imaginations.”
