Hardback. Condition: New. It's hard to think of another contemporary Chinese photographer who fully exploits all the possibilities photography has to offer like Xu Yong. For his series 18% GRAY (2009) and MY FRIENDS (2020), he constructed a ten-centimetre-long metal ring, which was then affixed between the camera and the lens, causing the camera to lose focus so that the images are blurred. Xu Yong used this method to photograph his close friends and important places from his memories. He portrays, for example, the alleyway in Shanghai where he lived as a child, the Huangpu river, in which the ashes of his grandfather were scattered, and Tiananmen Square in Beijing. This publication is a visual autobiography which at the same time allows Xu Yong to demonstrate his great sensitivity for the realities of Chinese society.Text in English and Chinese.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Kaum ein anderer zeitgenössischer chinesischer Fotograf lotet die Möglichkeiten der Fotografie so aus wie Xu Yong. Für seine Serien '18% GRAY' (2009) und 'MY FRIENDS' (2020) fertigte er einen zehn Zentimeter langen Metallring an, den er zwischen Kamera und Objektiv befestigte. Dadurch verliert die Kamera ihre Schärfefunktion und die Bilder werden stark verschwommen. Mit dieser Methode nahm Xu Yong Bilder von nahestehenden Freund\*innen und für ihn wichtigen Erinnerungsorten auf. Zu sehen sind unter anderem die Gasse in Shanghai, in der er während seiner Kindheit lebte, der Huangpu-Fluss, in dem die Asche seines Großvaters verstreut wurde sowie der Platz des Himmlischen Friedens in Peking. Die vorliegende Publikation ist eine visuelle Autobiografie, mit der Xu Yong zugleich seine hohe Sensibilität für die Realität der chinesischen Gesellschaft unter Beweis stellt. 168 pp. Chinesisch, Englisch.…
