Qingyang_Temple

 

Focusing on the motivation and processes involved with the creation of his photographic series Keywords and Landscape Wall, Ni Weihua discusses the impact of official ideologies on the urban landscape of Chinese cities and on the country’s overall social development as well as on the social criticality of concept-based documentary photography. The artist also discusses temporal and spatial dimensions as two important elements for his photographic and video works
