In Between: Han Lei Photography Exhibition

2010.03.27 - 2010.06.17

This exhibition presents a mixture of texts consisting of test strips, samples, defective pictures and other pictures that Han Lei took in the 1980s and 1990s, some of which were from the same negative films but developed on different photographic papers at different times in his darkroom. The show also includes a number of positive films and “finished products” that Han has created since the 1990s, which constitute a consistent body of works that demonstrate his various ways of working and small changes in his attitudes towards the concepts of objectivity and reality. The clear-cut structure of the exhibition doesn’t mean that we would like to show his thinking and practice in an orderly and absolute manner. On the contrary, Han candidly reveals to viewers his confusions, doubts and conflicts.

 The exhibition is curated and implemented in an unconventional way with the hope that the audience could understand better the thinking of Han Lei, a representative photographer in China since the 1980s, when he created all these works.
