These recordings were made over the course of two years that Asa Roast spent living and conducting research in the city of Chongqing / Keeping track of a developing research plan, these recordings range from the downtown density of central Chongqing to the vague limits of the peri-urban fringe / They track the role of infrastructure, daily rhythms, densities and absences in composing and decomposing urban space //
