Description
Guest curator Britta Erickson, a well-known expert on contemporary Chinese art, brings together a moving exhibition of the works of renowned contemporary Chinese photographer RongRong and his Japanese wife inri in Ruins to Renewal: Works by RongRong & inri.“In the long river of time, we are always blank, but the photos are pieces of evidence, memories, and everything.” Chinese photographer RongRong made this statement in reference to a large group of photographs that date from 1994 through 2008 entitled the Liu Li Tun series. On display at SF Camerawork, this series of photographic works were made around RongRong’s former home in the Beijing neighborhood of Liu Li Tun. The photographs document the neighborhood’s transformation and destruction, from the artist’s daily life with the 1990s avant-garde art movement, to his collaborations with his Japanese photographer-wife inri, to their creation of the Three Shadows Photography Art Centre in Beijing.
