Details
The exhibition presents works by six artists ranging from landscapes tracing memories of a place's past to moving image works retelling history. It includes photographs taken while exploring mountains and rivers with ancient literary texts as a guide, portraits of young people today, experimental images made without a camera, and collages composed of self-portraits. The concept of a duet, originally music performed by two people, echoes the dialogue among the artists. The exhibition explores the relationships and resonances that arise when works informed by different perspectives and backgrounds share the same space, bringing multiple viewpoints, cultures, times, and personal experiences into contact. The Three Shadows Photography Art Centre was founded in Beijing in 2007 by the internationally recognized photographer duo RongRong and Inri. A new location opened in Xiamen, Fujian Province, in 2015 and has become a vital hub for bringing Chinese photography to audiences in China and abroad. The exhibition aims to offer visitors an occasion to reflect on the richness of the photographic and moving image practices now emerging in Asia.
