Lin Zhipeng, also known as 223, is considered to be part of the ‘next generation’ of young chinese photographers. #EditionsBessard #ArtOfPerfection #China #Photography

Be Street : Bienvenue Ed. Parles nous du concept de ta dernière œuvre “Adventures in the Nearby Far Away”?
EXTRAIT BE STREET: Adventures in the Nearby Far Away est un journal photographique de mes nombreuses visites à Catalina Island sur la côte sud de la Californie. Je viens ici depuis que je suis tout petit et je prend des photos de cet endroit depuis les années 90. Toutes les photos son analogues. Les Editions Bessard m’ont proposé d’en faire un livre dans ce style. Au début, j’étais sceptique parce que je ne suis pas fan du format accordéon. Puis je me suis mis à réfléchir au type de projet qui pourrait s’adapter à ce format. Et c’est là que je me suis rappelé de cette série de photos prises à Catalina et que j’avais prévue de publier sous forme de fanzine. J’avais fait des collages avec les dizaines de photos prises de l’horizon. Et en fait, ce format s’est avéré être parfait pour ce genre de collages car je pouvais montrer le collage en entier sur une page continue.
B.S : Selon quels critères as-tu fait la sélection des photos pour ce projet ?
Je voulais en faire un journal photos mais rien de trop personnel. On se fiche de voir des photos de ma femme et de mes amis tout sourire pendant les vacances. Le but etait de montrer cet endroit. Les gens, le paysage, les légendes urbaines d’un endroit lourd d’histoire. Un endroit que mes grands-parents fréquentaient pendant leur jeunesse.
B.S : Quel est ton souvenir le plus cher de Santa Catalina ? Tu te rappelles de ta première visite sur l’île ?
Oui, je partage une histoire d’enfance dans le livre. Mes plus beaux souvenirs sont avec mes grands-parents. Ils louaient une maison pour une semaine chaque année. Ils nous racontaient tout ce qui avait changé au cours des années. On prenait le bateau tous les matins pour explorer les environs. Mon grand-père était un matelot et adorait être en mer. Je me rappelle des bateaux de pêches qui revenaient sur la plage après leur pêche à l’espadon. C’était choquant de voir ces belles créatures accrochées tout sanglotant, je n’oublierais jamais.

Upcoming exhibition in Berlin on PiB (Photography In Berlin) Luo Yang “GIRLS” Zine Collection No. 24 Limited Edition of 300 copies with a C-print signed by the artist
Luo Yang’s GIRLS belong to a part of contemporary China that is rarely taken note of in the West. Her portraits depict an emerging Chinese subculture that defies imposed expectations and stereotypes – GIRLS are bad-assed and self-aware, yet insecure, vulnerable and torn, with a supreme sense of cool. Beijing-based artist Luo Yang photographs the girls around her, attempting to grasp an understanding of their lives as well as her own. Although different, they share the same ambivalent emotions, confusions and concerns. It is in that connection that Luo finds the strength and fragility of her subject. Her images are bold and up-front, intimate and sensitive at the same time. They explore the themes of youth and femininity, while challenging traditional beliefs about women in Chinese society. As such, Luo’s GIRLS reflect a view on life in China that both celebrates and defies its reality.
Luo Yang, born 1984 in Liaoning, China, is a freelance photographer living and working in Beijing & Shanghai. In 2012, Ai Weiwei designated her one of the “rising stars of Chinese photography” (New Statesman). She has had exhibitions all over China and participated in major shows in Europe, amongst them Ai Weiwei’s “FUCK OFF 2” at the Groninger Museum, Netherlands, in 2013. In her work, highly staged portraits and carefully constructed poses alternate with a raw, blurred snapshot-aesthetic.
An exhibition brought to you by MO-Industries, a POP-UP gallery project staging cultural exchange between Asia and Germany.
Opening: Friday, May 20, 2016, 19-23:30h (Facebook Event)
Exhibition: May 21 – June 5, 2016
Opening hours: Tue-Sat 13-20h
