This event has ended.

Both photographers have traveled extensively through China in the last few years, exploring a chaotic world in the midst of enormous change and modernization, viewing with a canny perspective its many contradictions and contrasts. Rian Dundon looks specifically at youth, the “lost generation” who are caught in the shuffle of a fast-changing society. His black and white, raw, intimate reportage takes him through a range of nightlife situations in the lesser-known cities of outlying provinces.

Wayne Liu takes an epic, cinematic view of the bewildering vistas of unfinished building projects and makeshift arrangements of public space, animated by the presence of figures going about their business. Liu uses outdated black and white, photo paper to create an atmosphere of anxiety and dislocation.
