| Title: Carpe Diem |
| By (author): Luo Yang |
| ISBN10-13: 295640718X : 9782956407188 |
| When we talk about â Ba ling houâ (born after the 1980s) in China, we are actually talking about the first generation born under the one child policy and raised during the reform and opening up led by Deng Xiaoping after the Cultural Revolution (1966-1976). This generation grew up together with the Internet and social media, melting into a consumer society that is totally in rupture with the preceding generations. Luo Yang, a photographer born in 1984, is also one of them. In 2007, at the age of 23, Luo started the series Girls, which brought her international recognition. For ten years, Luo Yang followed more than a hundred of women from her generation, recording changes to their bodies and their lives, observing and capturing their delicate transition to adulthood. Itâ s as if the photographer was capturing their (her) emotions as a young woman by holding a mirror up to her own growth and evolution alongside those of her models. Now, Luo Yang is in her late 30s. In the new series Youth that she started in 2019, Luo shifts her focus to a younger generation born in the late 1990s and early 2000s. She continues to explore through Generation Z the changes of contemporary China now globalized and reached on a new scale and tries to preserve a photographic trace of these â atypical charactersâ in a social context. From Girls to Youth, Luo Yang keeps â documentingâ the post-teenagers and young adults that she met in her everyday life, using her works to tell the â story of youthâ across generations. She depicts an emerging Chinese youth culture through her work that defies imposed expectations and stereotypes, showing evidence of her subjectsâ individuality and personality. It is a personal account at femininity, gender, and identity that reflects the profound and ongoing changes taking place in our society. |

| Title: No One Left to Blame |
| By (author): Charlie Hay |
| ISBN10-13: 2958509435 : 9782958509439 |
| No One Left to Blame by Charlie Hay is an exploration of the haunting question, â Why?â â a question the artist has grappled with for over a decade following the suicide of a close friend. The project delves deeply into themes of mental health, societal attitudes towards suicide, and the often-silent cries for help that go unnoticed. Hayâ s work captures landscapes, sites, and environments across various locations worldwide where suicides have occurred, framing them as symbols of solitude and questioning rather than places of tragedy alone. By focusing on these seemingly ordinary locations imbued with profound emotions, he encourages reflection on the narratives surrounding mental health and seeks to challenge the pervasive stigma against discussing such topics openly. No One Left to Blame is a book about suicide, yet it recognizes that no two suicides are the same. In approaching such a theme, Hay does not seek definitive answers but instead offers an invitation to a more nuanced understandingâ a chance to illuminate some of the darker corners in our collective psyche. |

| Title: Remember Me Like This |
| By (author): Rachel Liu |
| ISBN10-13: 2958509443 : 9782958509446 |
| In Remember Me Like This, Rachel M. Liu turns to her family photo archive to examine how memory is shaped, staged, and reimagined through the photographic image. A multidisciplinary artist working with photography, alternative processes, and mixed media, Liu has engaged with her familyâ s photographs since 2017 to probe the boundary between memory, history, and representation. The series draws on black-and-white family images made in China between the 1940s and the 1970s. Liu reprints selected images as silver gelatin prints and hand-paints each with ink and gouache. Dotted motifs obscure faces, contours soften, and surfaces are gently interrupted, transforming personal records into images that register through form and gesture rather than identity. Through these interventions, the work reflects on how photographs construct and withhold meaning, and on the human desire to see and to be seen. The book reproduces the series with careful attention to material detail, inviting readers to encounter the tactile tension between paint and silver print. |

| Title: Selfiers: Sealed with Images |
| By (author): He Bo, Xu Lei |
| ISBN10-13: 2958509419 : 9782958509415 |
| From August to December 1982, five to six years after the downfall of the â Gang of Fourâ and the reform and opening-up policy in China, two pen pals who had never met found themselves connected through a photography magazine. Xu Lei, a university professor, and He Bo, military personnel specialized in artistic pursuits at the border, were eagerly practicing the novel photographic technique of â self-portraitâ in the respective contexts of life and work. Ever since then, they started exchanging self-portraits and engaged in genuine discussions about their insights and experiences of self-portraits through letters. From August to December 2016, Xu Lei and He Bo, avid explorers of photography history and culture, recreated some staged group portraits from the 1970s and 1980s. They crudely superimposed their faces on to the faces in the original photographs. These forged images and textual evidence were later presented in exhibitions over the next few years, mostly taking the form of archival documents. They were replete with traces of contradictions or deliberate falsifications of historical facts. Through this project, they aspired to draw peopleâ s attention to the conspiracy of photographs and words in the act of storytelling, as well as the delicate relationship between the visual aura of â evidenceâ given by old photographs and letters and the notion of â true history.â |

| Title: Wild Grass |
| By (author): JT |
| ISBN10-13: 2958509427 : 9782958509422 |
| Growing up in a small town in southern China during the strict execution of the one-child policy in the 1980s, JT witnessed the heartbreaking reality of a newborn girl being abandoned due to economic hardships. In 2014, he encountered some "left-behind children" while travelling, whose resilience and vitality left a deep impression on him. Reflecting on their struggles and the uncertain future they faced, JT couldn't help but wonder about the fate of the abandoned newborn girl from childhood memory. This experience led the photographer to embark on the "Wild Grass" project, documenting the lives of children in unofficial orphanages across the country. JTâ s visits to these orphanages revealed the challenges they face, including funding shortages and a lack of specialized knowledge in caring for physically and/or mentally disabled children. Despite these obstacles, he lived among the children, seeking to understand their daily lives and provide them with a voice through photography. |
