This expansive inter-generational exhibition records the wide-ranging changes to the built environment which are underway in China today. Showcasing Ma Laing’s ‘wonderlands’, Ji Zhou’s futuristic representations of traditional Chinese architecture, and Qinwen’s account of the destruction of the old, stories traditional and contemporary intermingle. Another Story further extends the ongoing dialogue between FotoFreo and Pingyao International Photography Festival, one of China’s eminent photography events.
