Between Past and Future: New Photography and Video from China

Liu Zheng... Nanjing Massacre Waxwork in the Memorial Museum, Nanjing, Jiangsu Province 2000. "...From the series The Chinese. These photographs of waxworks, stone statues and filmsets represent key episodes from Chinese history and mythology. They form part of Liu Zheng's photographic project The Chinese. The series combines both documentary-style photography and imagined tableaux, conveying the rich variety of Chinese culture and society. As critic Gu Zheng writes, the artist 'uses this imagery as raw material to create his own historical memory.'" From the exhibition Between Past and Future: New Photography and Video from China at Victoria and Albert Museum.
