The South Street Village is about the last and only Maoist village in China.
"This series provides a unique and critical view on the ideals of Communism—as well as on the crisis of capitalism—in a microcosm in which we are never able to distinguish reality from fiction. To reach the final, lush result, the photographer utilized a variety of visual languages, applying different photography techniques to convey his concept. Still photography, lighting, mis-en-scene and performance all played a role. This is a daring project, executed masterfully." —Eder Chiodetto, Curator of Photography, Museum of Modern Art of São Paolo |
