Wang Qingsong

Wang Qingsong's staged photographs are darkly humorous. You might feel the content to be absurd, but in fact it is highly critical towards consumerism and capitalism. The very large prints are of technical high standard.
'take a look at the urban people's life. we dine at mcdonald's, KFC, and pizza hut. we drink cola, starbucks' coffe and lipton tea. we live in roman fantasy, lincoln park, vancouver forest and east provence. we drive benz, BMW and lamborghini. all these western consumer products 'modernize' this originally agricultural country. however such life in high fashion is so ridiculous, contradictory and crazy. the chinese traditions and elite culture fail to have energy and vigor, deserving to be trashed. this is the contemporary china in its massive scale.'
- Wang Qingsong.
