“Smell of Shanghai” by Jin Hua
Jin Hua’s works, as a female artist and photographer, are marked interventions into the everyday. Her pastiche of the cityscapes and prominent urban scenarios with high-color superimposed images from fashion and femininity draw attention away from the traditional, male-centric patterning of Chinese society and alert us to the increasing fluidity of Chinese society. Jin’s works are not straight-forward vocalizations of femininity per se, but rather they question the nature of the space around us and what it in turn entails of our psychological and sociological precepts. There is thus an intriguing dialogue between what is seen and what is suggested. Coupled with the use of digital media, these photographs are intelligent explorations of change, an amalgam of new technology and a new gaze. By Wenny Teo
*Wenny Teo was the curator for Museum of Contemporary Art Shanghai for the exhibition, Restless - Contemporary Photography and New Media. Now she is a freelance curator. She has written this extract especially for Chinese Walls exhibition held in Amsterdam, Holland.
