After years working as a press photographer, Luo Dan traveled across China from east to west, photographing people and landscapes. From 2010 to 2012, he lived in a remote valley in Yunnan within a community whose way of life has remained almost unchanged for a hundred years, and revived a forgotten photographic process: wet plate collodion.
Trained from an early age in calligraphy and traditional ink painting, Yang Yongliang set out from the beginning of his career to connect classical art with contemporary art. Yang combines photography and new media techniques to construct landscapes that appear natural and evoke traditional shanshui painting (“mountain and water” landscapes), but which in reality depict the effects of urban development in China.
