AI WEIWEI, Beijing 10/2003, Beijing 2004. Hard Cover, 23,5 x
China, moderne fotografie
AI WEIWEI, Beijing 10/2003, Beijing 2004. Hard Cover, 23,5 x 8,5 cm. 880 pag. met 1760 kleurfoto's. Tekst in Engels en Chinees.
"Beijing 10/2003 is the antithesis of a coffee table book on Beijing. There are no images of the Forbidden City, Tiananmen, the Great Wall or glass high-rise office buildings. Rather contained within this grey brick of a book is a different Beijing, an authentic document of a 2400 kilometer journey by the artist through every street in Beijing in October 2003. Captured at precisely-timed, five-minute intervals from a single channel video over 150 hours long, the 1760 video stills, laid-out two per page over 880 pages and hard bound to the dimensions of a grey brick, present a different Beijing, an endless stream of traffic-congested streets, myriad junk spaces and lots of bad weather - remarkable in an un-coffee table book kind of way.The work took 16 days to complete beginning on October 18, 2003. Beginning below the Dabeiyao highway interchange, the vehicle from which the video was shot traveled every road within the Fourth Ring Road of Beijing, one by one. Approximately 2400 kilometers and 150 hours of footage later, it ended where it began below the Dabeiyao highway interchange. Through the windshield, the camera recorded all the visual information that appeared before the vehicle - investigating the spatial state of the city's streets, the endlessly changing times, scenery, movements, behaviors, and other concepts - thoroughly and meticulously recording the mega city of Beijing through a single lens. The sum of the entire process became the meaning of the work."

Forbidden City Collection of photographs by Hu Chui
China,moderne fotografie
CHUI HU, Forbidden City Collection of photographs by Hu Chui, Beijing 1998. Hardcover21 x 27,5 cm. 96 pag. met 86 kleurenfoto's.
"Hu Chui was born in 1952 into a scholarly family in Shanghai, China and has had a keen interest in photography since childhood. In 1969, he was sent to the countryside, where he spent a number of years working as a farmer and manual laborer. During that time, Hu Chui continued with his avid pursuit of photographic art, learning theories and techniques on his own. In 1978 Hu Chui joined the Palace Museum as a photographer. He later took charge of the Museum's photography studio in 1985. Throughout his career Hu Chui has tirelessly researched and experimented with ways to apply photography - an "imported" and relatively new art form - to the architecture and relics that represent China's ancient civilization. His aim is to break away from the staid approarch typically used in the past to photograph such monuments and art objects. In doing so, Hu Chui strives to inspire the viewer a simultaneous appreciation for the beauty of the objects themselves, and for the artistic medium he uses to capture these images. Hu Chui's works have been published in numerous books and catalogues. This volume is a compilation of some of his best works of the Forbidden City, capturing the spirit of its monumental architecture and stunning interiors."

Foreigners within The Gates
China,oude fotografie
MOSER, M. & MOSER ,Y., Foreigners within The Gates, Chicago 2006. Hardcover 23 x 28 cm. 240 pag. met 150 zwart-wit foto's.
"Only a stone's throw away from the Imperial Palace, the Legation Quarter of Peking stood for more than half a century as 'a city apart' . Surrounded by thick walls, with entry to Chinese forbidden, the Quarter housed several hundred foreigners who lived in a miniature Europe in the heart of the Chinese capital. The Quarter boasted well-built embassies and fancy clubs which mimicked the latest European styles, maintained its own local government and postal service, and was serviced by a surprisingly large collection of banks and commercial establishments. A painful symbol of China's humiliation at the hands of western 'barbarians', the Legation Quarter was repossessed by the Chinese Government after 1949 and all foreigners were evicted. Little remains of the old Quarter today. Foreigners within the Gates reconstructs the story of the Peking Legation Quarter -- the 'little Europe' placed arrogantly in the heart of the Imperial capital -- tracing the Quarter's origins in the 18th century treaties of Tianjin and Peking, through the perilous Siege during the Boxer Rebellion of summer 1900, the rebuilding of the Quarter following th Boxer Settlement, the Japanese occupation of the 1930's, and finally the disappearance of the Quarter following the communist 'liberation'. The book's collection of rare photographs, numerous maps and lively prose provide a dramatic picture of one of the most fascinating encounters between China and the outside world -- inside the capital of the Middle Kingdom itself."
