    He Chongyue, one of the most esteemed Chinese Contemporary photographers, has had an idea of his project brewing in his mind for a couple of years. He travelled through China, going deep into the countryside and captured the citizens who had been neglected in our time with his camera

    His style of conceptual photography has always taken the form of documentary photography against a backdrop of historical themes. This has been the case from his early “Mirror Image” series (2005), “Family Planning” (2007) to “The End” (2010). Over the years, he has been capturing scenes and images that once had a broad and profound influence, but have now slipped into fragility and irrelevance.
