Background information
"What does photography tell us about lifestyles and mentalities in China in the face of rapid social change? In search of their identity, artists experimentally explore the medium of photography and provide insight into the individual complex worlds of feeling and experience of their generation. The photo compendium presents a selection of around 150 works by forty Chinese artists from the collection of the Alexander Tutsek Foundation.

The photographs, in black-and-white aesthetics or as dramatic stagings in color, were taken from the 1990s to the present. They show people in the metropolises, in the rural peripheries and the loneliness of nature, between vibrant counterculture and melancholy, between coolness and confusion.
