“Much of people's perception about China is shaped by visuals — the Great Wall, foods, landmarks from press photos in the 80s and 90s — for the most part, Chinese storytellers ignore that and hope words alone could push readers into the contemporary era. That's just wishful thinking. What Far & Near is focused on, China and its visual culture, are integral part of seeing the country, people and artists from a different light.”
