China Naked

 

One and a half billion people and the new politics of China could give that country the power to rule the world for the next future. But who are they? The Chinese? Get out of your clothes, was one of my first thoughts when I started with my project "China Naked".

But not enough, I also wanted to show the speed and the mass of that everyday changing surface of China. So I choose to combine landscapes with the nude-portraits. I did long-time exposures for almost all of the images. So in the end each person of the naked Chinese people stands for an individual human being chosen out of the mass you find in China. China Naked is also one of the first known projects with Chinese nudes in that dimension.
