T3 PHOTO ASIA

Each Modern is honored to participate in T3 PHOTO ASIA 2025, presenting a joint booth with the renowned Japanese photography gallery PGI. The booth will showcase works by Taiwanese artist Wu Mei-Chi and the Danish art collective A Kassen, alongside a special presentation in the Masters Section featuring the legendary Chinese photographer Lang JingShan.

Wu Mei-Chi (b. 1989, Tainan, Taiwan) is one of the most active Taiwanese female photographers of her generation. Her works have been featured in Bandung Photo Biennale 2025, Paris Photo 2024, and Jimei x Arles International Photo Festival 2024, where her solo exhibition Baby’s Baby received the Discovery Award. Her works are in the collection of Huis Marseille, Museum for Photography, Amsterdam. Wu’s colorful still-life photography interweaves studio staging, abstraction, image culture, and scientific experimentations, exploring color, light, object transformation, and spatial division. Her images are both a formal inquiry and a reinterpretation of objects within consumer culture, embodying a cross-disciplinary practice between photography and subculture.

A Kassen, founded in 2004 in Denmark by Christian Bretton-Meyer, Morten Steen Hebsgaard, Søren Petersen, and Tommy Petersen, has exhibited extensively across Europe and is represented in numerous public and private collections. Their recent series Color of Things (2025) grinds everyday objects—ceramic fish sculptures, books, vases, and chairs—into powder and reassembles them into color fields, presented alongside life-sized photographs of the original objects. The works reveal the chromatic and material essence of objects while redefining their visual and material identity.

Lang JingShan (1892–1995), celebrated as the “Father of Chinese Photography,” pioneered the technique of “composite photography.” By combining negatives with painting, inscription, and scratching, he created images that emulate the layered perspective and poetic atmosphere of traditional Chinese landscape painting. Influenced by Western experimental photography in the 1930s yet deeply rooted in Eastern aesthetics, Lang merged modern photographic practices with the spirit of Chinese ink traditions. His works embody an elegant, romantic sensibility while resonating with international modern art. As a bridge between East and West, Lang not only witnessed the cultural transformations of 20th-century China but also established a lasting position for Eastern photography within global art history.
