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.
Zhang Guotian has been the Chief Artistic Director of Pingyao International Photography Festival (PIP) since 2008, following five years as its Secretary General. Born in Taiyuan, Shanxi, People’s Republic of China in 1962, Guotian started working in photography in 1986 and began shooting historic Pingyao in 1994. His book Pingyao was published in 2001, the same year he first participated in PIP. Guotian is a member of China Photographers’ Association. He has exhibited at the China Fine Art Museum, collaborated on a number of publications, and created the PICS magazine and continues as its Chief Artistic Director. In 1995 he also directed a MTV for the Shanxi folk song Xiang Qinqin, meaning “my love”, and won the copper medal at the 1995 China MTV Competition.
