The result of an assignment at the Berlin School of Creative Leadership. We were sent to the Huang Pu river for an observation of people, brands, consumption. Not an easy task, especially regarding the part about consumption. The observations were to be presented within a maximum of 90 seconds. The short format led to the idea of presenting the observations as a 90 second slam poetry piece on consumption, ying and yang, and brands on the river. Due to the vey limited time and resources, the presentation is not very pretty. The photography was taken during the afternoon and evening of our observation task. Enjoy
