Description
In this work, GENG Jian Yi deliberately juxtaposed photographs with texts on papers -- or the photographs were artificially manipulated by other means -- to invite the audiences to take photographs as "inconvertible" truth. "It inspired an ongoing fascination with the medium." (Smith, ZERO TO INFINITY: THE NASCENCE OF PHOTOGRAPHY IN CONTEMPORARY CHINESE ART OF THE 1990S, 2002, accessible through MOMA: https://www.moma.org/momaorg/shared/pdfs/docs/learn/intnlprograms/7.%20CCA_Web_Zero%20to%20Infinity.p8.pdf) (Jerry Wu'23).
