The traditional East Asian Buddhist practice of freeing captive
animals to accrue good karma has flourished dramatically in recent
years in Shanghai.—in step with the rise of social media and online
money donation—which keeps the practice afloat. Here, hundreds
of inhabitants of the megalopolis gather to liberate US$3,000 worth
of fish bought from the market that morning. Monks or devout
lay people organise weekly devotional gatherings, performing
the ritual throughout the public space, thus creating a new economy
for fishermen and a sense of belonging in an ever-changing urban
environment. Groups regularly change location while observant
fisherman lay out nets in expectation of catching the ‘liberated’ fish.

The photo is part of a series called ’The Traveller’ around a man
with an old-fashioned appearance, who travels through unusual
places and past times. The photo shows the Traveller in Berlin
visiting a memorial for Ernst Thälman, an early German communist
leader, who was murdered by the Nazis in the fourties.
