Curated by Cologne gallerist Tina Schelhorn, with work from 45 international photographers, PIMP the TIMP Volume 11 - CHINA STORIES, opens in Cologne this Friday.
China is a country of contrasts. It is one of the oldest advanced
civilizations, and one of the most populous countries in the world on
its way to become politically and economically a world power.
Communist-ruled, but characterized by an unrestrained capitalism, rich
in natural beauty, but with rampant environmental degradation, a growing class of privileged
millionaires and abject poverty, China represents the dualism of extremes.
The images and stories are countless as the myriad of lights of the big
cities. International photographers show different perspectives on
modern China, document the changes and reminisce about spirits and
shamans. The pictures in this exhibition deal with large landscapes and
intimate scenes of everyday life. The speed of change and the
extremes in a surreal society are reflected in the work.
