Description
This monograph presents Chinese photographer Zhang Xiao’s award-winning series They, which won the Three Shadows Photography Award in 2010.
The characters in They are the ordinary people in real life – they carry out all kinds of mundane activities in public venues. In Zhang’s images, these ordinary people become the protagonists in the scenes they occupy, often seemingly departing from reality and entering a performance state. These images perhaps reveal some loss of balance and normality caused by the rapid development of modern Chinese society.
