Over the last ten years, China has seen a veritable explosion of new photo-based contemporary artwork, which is now accepted – and well regarded as “art” – in major museums, art fairs, and gallery exhibitions. No longer relegated to a secondary position, the boundaries between photography as social documentary and photography as contemporary artwork are forever blurred; and, whether an artist currently works in photography and moves to painting,
or vice versa, seems less and less important.
