Growing Wild

Exhibition Book, Catalog


Growing Wild, a hypothetical exhibition book, features six contemporary Chinese photographers who displayed and focused on authority, space, and memory in their works. Massive spatial changes are affected by political power and commercial capital in urban development while profoundly affecting real lives and people’s attitudes toward reality. As a result, space has become a new creative theme for contemporary artists.

The book focuses on connecting the concept of power and space with the grid system and layout in the book. By using compact and powerful image structures to reveal the messages from these artists.
