LA MAISON DE Z

'1974' - Li Lang

'1974' is an interesting blend between history, fiction and the artist Li Lang's personal imagination. Li collected vintage photos from different sources and hand-labeled them with dates based on a fictional timeline. Then he presents these relabeled images along with a voice-over text of his personal memory in 1974. As a result, images and texts are no longer simply a documentation of the pas, but becomes an exploration between fiction and the reality in people's mind.

'Uncharted+' - Wang Juyan

As indicated in the title, the book features a series of uncharted landscapes manipulated by digital collage. The overlooking perspective on ruins, sea and mountains implies an underlying context of power. Uncharted+ seeks the limits of photography to challenge the ambiguity of language, and to form to ourselves the pictures of facts (Ludwig Wittgenstein), which results in the history as a formed outcome which eventually becomes an uncertain proposition in his work.

The whole concept is presented by a multi-layered book design to enhance Wang’s artistic attempt with a special binding resembling traditional Asian folding screens.
