“Forty Years of Chinese Con-temporary Photography,” a new exhibition featuring photographs taken by Chinese artists from the late 1970s to the present, is being held at OCAT Shenzhen, provid-ing a comprehensive overview of Chinese photography.
The grand exhibition divides the progression into four major phases: “The Rise of Unoffi cial Photography” (1976-1979), “New Wave Photography” (1980-1989), “Experimental Photog-raphy” (1990-2006) and the establishment of experimental photography organizations from 2007 to the present.
Curator Wu Hung believes that in the wake of societal, economic and cultural shifts domestically and internation-ally, the concept of Chinese contemporary photography has undergone major changes along-side developments in the broader art of photography.
From amateur photographers in the late 1970s to photography groups in the 1980s to photogra-phers with experimental intent in the 1990s onwards, Chinese photographers have explored the characteristics of photogra-phy as a unique art form and the realm of human emotion, captured minute details of daily life and dedicated themselves to the social reform.
Highlighted items include “To Add One Meter to an Anonymous
