Out of the Red. The New Emerging Generation of Chinese Photographers.






Out of the Red. The New Emerging Generation of Chinese Photographers. Numerous contributing photographers. Damiani, Bologna, 2004. 208 pp., numerous black-and-white and color illustrations, 9½x12¾".

"Out of communist China, out of the cultural revolution, out of a closed world... 'Out of the Red presents photography at the end of this outage, at the start of a new generation of Chinese image makers. What does a young photographer see in the viewfinder of her camera in Beijing, Shanghai, along the Yuan River? The latest generation of Chinese photographers is given free reign across these pages."

A book with varied images, both in quality, content and style, but with an idea to show us young photographers in an environment heavily controlled and mostly cut off from and to us in the West. Interesting.
