Exhibition : "A Look Back" by Adou
M97 is pleased to invite you to the opening of A Look Back, a mini-retrospective exhibition of Adou's three main bodies of work. Spanning eight years of the artist's career, A Look Back examines the creative evolution from the "Samalada" series of evocative portraits of the Yi minority through the introspection of the self-titled "Adou" series, to the poetic "Leaves of Grass", an ode to the ordinary lives of plants.
SAMALADA :
Adou said "I don’t know why I take photographs; if I knew I would not keep taking them. I don’t know the significance of life; if I knew I would not keep on searching. To me, photography is a kind of faith. I believe in photographs more than I believe in myself. This explains why I disdain churches, why I disdain all forms of expression oth... - Exposition
Exposition : Leaves of grass
M97 GALLERY is pleased to present “Leaves of Grass”, an exhibition of black-and-white gelatin silver Print s by Chengdu-based photographer Adou. This is Adou’s second solo exhibition at M97 Gallery. There will be a reception for the artist on Saturday January 24th from 4-6PM.

In this new body of works, Adou invites the viewer to look at their feet and become reacquainted with nature. Like the eponymous poetry collection by Walt Whitman, Adou’s “Leaves of Grass” is an exaltation of the natural world and its interrelationship with humans. In close-up range and viewed from above, isolated from an invisible wider context, the natural elements carefully composed by Adou appear graphic, geometric, almost abstract.

Adou presents his first solo exhibition at M97 Gallery
This is Adou’s first ever solo exhibition in China and Adou will be present at the reception opening on January 12.
In this lastest series of works, aptly titled after the artist himself, Adou goes to the root of the individual and the camera, the photographer in front of the lens, seen and unseen, both photographer and subject of his photographs. While making photographs in the mountains of Sichuan for his “Samalada” series of portraits, Adou once said “There is no difference between taking a picture of others and myself. The camera may be pointed outward, but whether you like it or not, it always reveals you”. In the “Adou” series he has decided to do just that: point the camera at himself, the artist, confined, contemplative, exploring the boundaries of meaning in his ...
