What does photography tell us about lifestyles and mentality in China in the face of rapid social change? In search of their identity, artists experimentally explore the medium of photography and provide insight into the individual complex worlds of feeling and experience of their generation. This carefully compiled monograph presents a selection of some 220 works by forty Chinese artists from the collection of the Alexander Tutsek-Stiftung. The photographs, in black-and-white aesthetics or as dramatic stagings in color, were taken from the 1990s to the present. They show people in metropolises, in rural peripheries and the solitude of nature, between vibrant counterculture and melancholy, between coolness and confusion.
The publication was awarded the German Photo Book Prize 21|22 of the Stuttgart Media University in the category “conceptual-artistic photo book” in silver.
