Abstract
Desde el principio del nuevo milenio una nueva generación de fotógrafos en China decidió embarcarse en un viaje en dirección contraria, volver desde las grandes metrópolis chinas o desde el extranjero y viajar a sus lugares de origen. Aunque cada uno de ellos desarrolla sus trabajos con un toque personal y representa escenas particulares, todos se centran en la misma dirección de su viaje: volver a casa.
Me refiero a fotógrafos como Zeng Han, Su Jiehao, Mu Ge, Zhu Lanqing, Zhang Wenxin and Zhang Xiao. Fotógrafos con diferentes orígenes y edades, que parece han decidido emprender el mismo camino.
No se quiere sugerir un nuevo patrón, ni introducir una nueva tendencia en la fotografía contemporánea china. Sino quiero mostrar como estos trabajos fotográficos comparten intenciones y sentimientos comunes en un periodo de irrefutable cambio.
