"A country in transition: After almost fifty years of dictatorship, the military in Myanmar initiated a surprising opening of the country in 2011. Since then, it has been in a permanent state of tension. Two years later, photographer Hans-Christian SCHINK made several trips to Myanmar. In his silent photographs, he shows religious sites and symbols in the landscape as well as in urban space, thus addressing the ambivalent role of religion. These works are combined by views from cities like Yangon, Mandalay, Lashio or Nyaungdon, where the situation of upheaval is also visible in the streetscape." (© Kerber Verlag, 2018)
