Over the past few years, Italian photographer Stefano Cerio has been taking pictures of empty recreational spaces in China.

Stefano Cerio has a passion for capturing desolate locations normally populated by tens of thousands of people. He documents off-season amusement parks, beaches and sports grounds in Beijing, Shanghai, Qingdao and Hong Kong. His centrally organized compositions are made with a plate camera and document selected absurd arrangements—from a concrete fruit basket as large as a house to the looped tracks of an enormous roller coaster in the interior courtyard of an office complex.
