While no artist fits neatly into one category, some create work that speaks to a shared culture. Whether they engage with traditional styles or incorporate symbols as a metaphor, we see contemporary artists making images with meaning rooted in a collective past. Check out the video to see how three contemporary Chinese photographers are making work to question the nature of appearances, bring images to life, and to immerse us all more fully in a story.
