CONTEMPORARY BY ANGELA LI presents the solo exhibition of photographer He Xingyou, featuring his Landscape series taken throughout China. These works include the commonly seen contemporary landscape – large-scale city relocations and urban periphery constructions, deserted half- nished projects, ghost towns, mountain digging, sabotaging of the nature under the allure of great plo ts, with green mountains and clear water reduced to pieces of construction sites.  “His main targets shown in Landscape series are a variety of construction sites throughout mainland China.  As a result, what matters now is not how to record an event, but how to bring both immersive and historic truthfulness to the viewer.  The scenes He Xingyou faces today are apparently diff erent from what traditional literati saw in their time. Today the nature has been
changed and even greatly destroyed by human hands, turning into construction sites or similar places.  Here, two great forces – both human labour and nature are fi ercely competing with each other, like what happens in a cruel battle,” says renowned Chinese curator Wang Lin.

Contemporary by Angela Li 呈獻賀興友的個人攝影作品展,展出他在中國大陸各地所拍攝的<山水>系列。拍攝的主要對象是遍布中國大陸的
各種工地: 大規模城市拆遷、大規模城市及外圍建設、 荒廢的半完成項目、廢棄的城市、挖山斷水等,在龐大的利益誘惑下,大自然的青山
綠水隻剩下一片工地。著名中國策展人王林表示:“賀興友在《山水》系列中拍攝的主要對象是遍布中國大陸的各種工地。重要的不是將其拍
攝下來記錄在案,而是如何拍攝以讓人直擊現場的同時也是歷史的真實。賀興友面對的自然是人工改變的自然、是自然遭到巨大破壞的待建
工地或其他人為場地。自然的偉大和人力的偉大在這裡兩軍對壘,猶如戰場血腥而殘酷。”
