Under the title 'China', Ángel Marcos (*Medina del Campo, Valladolid, 1955) rounds off a trilogy he began six years earlier in New York and continued in Havana in 2004. Though the locations are entirely different, the images revolve around the same conceptual parameter: the conversation between the city's population and the powers that govern it through advertising and propaganda.
Exploring both the city centres and the suburbs of Beijing, Hong Kong, and Shanghai, the artist captures the contrast between past and present, tradition and modernity through publicity, contrasting architectures and the clash of metropolitan landscapes. The result is a broad-reaching project that includes photography and video; a window onto Angel Marcos' personal take on today's China.hilger contemporary Dorotheergasse 5, 1010 Vienna Austria Tel.: +43-1-512 53 15 Fax: +43-1-513 91 26 Ernst.hilger@hilger.at www.hilger.at Tues-Fri 10am-6pm .
