Description
Mo Yi Selected Photographs 1988-2003 is the first retrospective of one of China's most important photographic artists. Spanning nearly forty years, Mo Yi's career has seen him experiment with documentary photography and push the boundaries of the medium. This publication contextualizes Mo Yi's work within the evolution of contemporary art in post-Cultural Revolution China, featuring five chronological chapters that mark key milestones in his journey as an artist. The book presents a range of projects and series created over this period, including daily life photographs of Beijing and more exploratory, performative works. With contributions from Christoph Wiesner, Director of Les Rencontres d'Arles, and Philip Tinari, Director of UCCA, Mo Yi Selected Photographs 1988-2003 offers a unique insight into the work of one of China's most important yet virtually unknown artists.
