Former architect and museum director, Chen Jiagang offers dazzling works mixing documentary and staged photography. His pictures paint the urban and social upheavals of contemporary China without artifice and with an undeniable subjectivity. Ruined cities, disfigured landscapes, abandoned factories or renaissance, scenes with deceptive appearances, all these places full of history and uncertainty are both documented and reinvented. He loves indeed to populate this apparent urban chaos with delicate female presences. Chen Jiagang captures the echo of a past life, of a forgotten memory with a necessary awareness.
