CHEN WENBO
b. 1969, China“There is always a viewpoint in the first place, which is operating within and dissociating from the cultural formation of a developing society . Sometimes it acts as a witness for an age of consumption, sometime it shifts from a particular locality, sometimes it is very close, and sometimes it has a wide-angle slant… When this viewpoint is in motion, it documents an amnesiac reality. What is left behind is a file that uncovers urban lives, or a report of a follower, in between exposure or disclosure.”
