Tableaux – Wang Qingsong

2004. Wang Qingsong, Beijing, China.

This photograph be Wang Qingsong is especially interesting because it is fictitious in nature, but intended to reflect a real memory. In order to capture the photograph, Wang rented a Beijing movie sound stage and then plastered six hundred posters all over the walls, all of which were hand drawn by him. The photograph in essence represents his memories of the cultural revolution and the countless posters planted on the walls by the Red Guard.
